Abigail turns 9!

This post should probably begin with some inspiring reflections back to 9 years ago today when Miss Carolyn Abigail Kirkwood entered our lives. It was an ice storm in Oklahoma on the day she was born. My independent child decided to have her own birth date, rather than be induced the following day and share my birthday. With baby blue eyes and fair complexion, she looks very much like her namesake, Jon's mom. Jon's mom also played sports all thru high school and had a passion for signing, two things Abigail enjoys! One of the most memorable events of the day included Jon bringing Frankie, Caleb & Abigail into my hospital room for the first time and Caleb saying, 'Mommy, we found baby Abigail, can we keep her?'

As for this birthday, we shared her breakfast of choice, sausage and homemade biscuits in bed as she opened her gifts. She loves to cook and wanted her own kitchen items. Following church services we celebrated a nice birthday lunch with Uncle David.
