Happy Thanksgiving Abby!

Hi Abby,

It's your daddy. It's Thanksgiving time and you know what that means? That means lots and lots of food! I'm sure you're going to eat half the turkey huh? Hee hee...just kidding. Thanksgiving is also a time to say "thank you" for all the stuff we have and the people we love... and Punky, I love YOU! I am soooooo thankful for you. The best part of my day is walking through the door to see you and Eddie. Every time you do your little run toward me to give me a hug, I fight back the tears. You are a miracle Abby...do you know that? There was a time when mommy and I simply hoped that you would smile at us and know who we were.. I didn't even dream of you walking or talking or anything. And now look at you Punky. Loving on you each day makes everything else seem so trivial. You are such a fighter and always take your challenges head on. I love that about you. I know Emma and Maddy are there with you during those times and that warms my heart.

Your next biggest challenge is your little (or not so little) brother. I love that little guy a whole bunch too and it's fun to watch you with him. I know he gets in your way and bugs you sometimes but let me tell you something Punky, he absolutely adores you. His eyes light up just as much as mine do when you walk in the room. So be nice to him. He's going to get really big and will be a good guy to have on your side! I love you Abby. I am so happy and proud to be your daddy.

Happy Thanksgiving....

ENJOY THE PICS!

Our little girl has been outfitted with yet another accessory. She now has a foot brace which is going to help with her walking. It's called a DAFO #2. For more info on it...click here She walks so much better with this little thing! She takes "correct" steps when she wears it which makes her a lot more stable. And by "correct" steps I mean stepping so her heal lands first and then her toes. Take a step right now and notice that your heal lands first. With Abby's left foot, her toes would land first and that's why she was always so unstable. This brace is fixing that! Wooohooo! One problem though....shoes. We don't have an answer yet either, so stay tuned. Rest assured though, it will be cute, whatever momma decides. Did you know her brace is pink?

Abby loves her DAFO. Check out the fashion pose.
