For unto Joy and Hyper a child is born!

“Sure Joy, I did `em for her and you and the Hyper one!LOL
Good on all of you!”

“To catch the wind, we need a sail
and then comes in little Abbagail
into your world now, she gets her first sight
with a slap to the rump, that just isn`t right
to do that to one so small, so sweet and frail
happy first day, I`m glad you`re all doing well”

“If your kisses were words, they`d fill a book
as you take her up in your arms and again look
in to her eyes and at her fingers and precious toes
and you see her tiny lips and little button nose
you can`t help but feel you`re in for lots of fun
as you hold the hopes and joy of such a special one
and you get to see her now all brand new
but having children forces you to grow up too”

“For you three a never ending story is about to unfold
but you wouldn`t have listened even if you had been told
so just enjoy everything as it`s revealed to you
as you discover a real love, precious and true”

“What`ll you take for her right now, you just say
you know one of these days you`ll have to give her away
but it`s a long time off, at least a day or two
till some old boy will up and steal her from you
and you the whole time wouldn`t trade her for riches and gold
because a daughter will love you even if you`re getting a bit old
but right now she is yours and you`ve got her
God decided to bless you when he loaned you a daughter”

“I thought today might be a good day to resurrect this thread!

Happy 1st Birthday to one of the cutest little girls I've ever seen!

XOXO

Tara”

“Happy 1st, ya lil' rugrat!”

“Happy Birthday! One year olds are too cool. The next couple of years are some of the best for hiking with kids. Mine started whining about hiking at about six. Till then they loved to ride in the backpack and/or walk. Enjoy!”

“Happy birthday to one of our littlest TT'ers!”

“Happy Birthday Abby! And Happy Anniversary of becoming parents Sassafras and Birch! Did you ever have any idea you could be this tired? LOL!”

“Happy Happy First circle around the SUN , ABBY!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”

“Lil' Abby is one of the cutest kids I've ever seen. Happy b-day!”

“Its the cheeks and those darn cute ponytails on the top of her head! They crack me up!”

“Will you wear white
Oh my dear, oh my dear
Will you wear white, Abby Harvey?
No I won't wear white
For the color's too bright
I'll buy me a foldy-roldy, tildy-toldy
Seek-a-double, use-a-cozza roll to find me
Roll, Abby Harvey, roll.”

“Have a ONE-derful B-day, Abby...and enjoy the celebration Birch and Sassafras! What trail gear did you get the little hiker?”

“AW thanks you guys! The year has gone by way too fast. Skully, I never knew how great it would be to be a parent, tired or not! LOL. She is our single greatest blessing!

Buddur, that's our second favorite song on that cd, Shanandoah lulabye being the first. The child never slows down but when that song is playing if I hold her against my chest and hum along she'll sing and lay her ear on my breastbone. It's the closest thing to snuggling I get anymore. :o)”

“Lets see pekka, a popper walking toy is the closest I can figure to gear! A rocking fish (it is so cool!) and a see and say. Oh and a whole load of sand box toys with the box to come this summer. There, she got a cathole shovel!:o)”

“Happy B-Day Little Abby!!!!!!


- Sass - It only gets better!!!”

“Yep. Tired but happy. Isn't it great to be a parent?”

“Super! Happy Birthday, Abby!

I can't believe she is a year old already. I remember when my kids were a year old. I carried them around a lot...except my oldest daughter (she only wanted up long enough to scope out the highest point in the area so she could go climb it).”

“Happy 1st. It's a big wild world out there, kid.”

“Happy Birthday little one!”

“Happy Birthday little one!”

“Happy Birthday, Abby!

running girl, baume, and boy”

“Thanks folks, we truly appreciatte your well wishes!”

“Hey everyone.... She's TWO!

Happy Birthday, Abby!

All My Love,

Tara”

“Wow, someone was up early! Thank you Tarabull. 8:10 am....

She's running around singing "Happy Day" right now, eatting her birthday bagel.”

“Does she have a trail name yet?

if not let us give her one!!

Happy Birthday little one.

My daughter is turning 18 on Monday. So I understand the feeling of "wow they grow up fast"

enjoy your day with her and many more!!”

“Well, we call her the Abbinator...that could work for the trail. ;)”

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!!!!”

“Happy B'day lil' one.”

“Happy Birthday Abby!

Two year olds are cool!”

“Time to show your terrible two's!! Give it to em good cause you only have this one chance!”

“Give the little one a big hug for me. And Play that "Not For Kids Only" CD for her as she's definitly getting old enough to appreciate it. lol”

“klnsf/,m 0u w0”

“Sorry - that was to Abby from Max.


Happy Birthday, Abbster!”

“We're gonna have a good time!

Happy Happy Day - Abbinator &8`)

I wish I were two!”

“LOL. I saw the title and thought "I didn't even know she was pregnant".

Well... Happy Birthday Abby.

When are you going to give her a little brother/sister?”

“I really enjoyed my kid when they were toddlers...great time.

My oldest daughter (23) moved out on December 4 and I miss her. #2 daughter turns 21 in three weeks. #3 daughter is 16. Time flies!”

“Happy second anniversary of her birth Sassafras and Birch.

And Happy Birthday Abbey!”

“I thought that, too, Violin!!! lol

Happy B-day, Daughter Abbinator.”

“Two already? Wow! Happy birthday Little Bug! (sorry-that's what I call Laurel these days!)”

“She is loads of fun right now. Two has to be the funnest time, terrible moments or not, (and there really aren't that many yet).

#2 is scheduled to arrive sometime in late 2004-early 2005. I want to enjoy the one I have right now, but definately hope to give her a sibling.

Buddur, you should see her dance! It's so cool, she holds one arm above her head and stomps her feet, while turning circles. I love it! She loves the "Not Just for Kids" cd. "Ain't no bugs on me" is her favorite now followed closely by what she calls "colors". I still like the lullabye best.”

“Happy Birthday Abbey from Newgirl and Newergirl! We have just a few months more experience w/ the 2 yr. thing then you and Mom . . . and we think it's great also! It's not so bad at all. Funny is how I would describe it.”

“Happy Birthday Abbey! Finally, now I have someone my own age to hang out with!”

“Happy birthday, Abbey baby,
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, Abbey baby,
Happy birthday to you!”

“This is Abby's day......Happy Day
.......Congrats to all.......”

“Pretty soon she's going to be old enough to realize what crazy people her parents hang out with.”

“I'm sure RL was just referring to himself....I'm cool as all get-out. :)

Happy Birthday Abby-Doodle!”
