For unto Joy and Hyper a child is born!

“...yeah. You can just call me crazy mike.”

“Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. She is in bed after a fun filled day of gifts,family and food. Cant believe she's two...”

“abbinator....lol... that is the perfect name for a blend of Joy and Hyper...
hope her days are filled with fun and wonder in 2003.....

(my son is 20 but i still call him by his 2 year old nickname...Caserooski...)”

“Happy birthday, Abby!

I've got Abby's picture on my refrigerator. Audrey asked me who she is. I said, Do you remember when we went backpacking at Pictured Rocks and Joy had a baby in her tummy? That's the baby!

"OH!" she said, "She's cute!"

Enjoy your beautiful little blessing! She's adorable!”

“WOW! A toddler, so fast.

Happy Birthday Abby.

A wonderful occasion for celebration.”

“Pardon me, I want to make sure this thread sticks around so I'm resurrecting it again. Reading the posts from her day of birth brings back a flood of memories and warm feelings. =)”

“congrats on making it past the terrible 2s!”

“Happy Birthday to Abby!
Three already! Seems like she was just born.

I remember posting the birth of my grandgirl - she starts shcool in September!
man, time flies...”

“Happy Birthday!!!”

“woooohooo ...Happy Birthday!!!!”

“Happy Birthday, Lil Abner!!! Hope you enjoy your new bike and your Camelback backpack! Kudos for picking mac and cheese and hotdogs for your birthday dinner too! Good stuff, maynard!”

“Happy birthday sweeetie!”

“Happy Birthday to a real cutie
”

“one more time Abby”

“Shhhhhhhh!! What are you doin' girl? Leave this thread buried. You don't want birch to know that this is Hyper's baby!

Seriously, Happy B-day to lil' Abby. I have fond memories of our kids being three. It's a fun age. A word of advice though... The "terrible twos" tend to be about a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 phenomenon. You're probably not quite through with that phase just yet.

Now, on to more important questions. What is the ETA for her brother or sister? Don't let those parenting skills fade away. You need another!!”

“Happy Birthday Abby!”

“Happy Day Abby--and amen to another little one--who can Abby blame things on ???”

“Happy birthday, kiddo!”

“Happy B'day Abby! And Happy Abby's B'day to Sass and Birch!”

“Yah, it's about time for you two to jump back into the gene pool!

Lemme tell ya, if you think one is fun, two is even better.”

“and 3 is awesome!!!!”

“Congrats you 2!!!! Holy cow I can 'member when you guys first hooked up!

I cain't believe 3 already!

I've been missing for a little while, do you guys have any other litluns?”

“Lots of kind wishes, thanks so much!!

No number 2 planned (though number 1 wasnt planned). We are happy with one. If we have another everything would change (Sass' college plans,my early retirement,bigger house,etc...)so we are gonna maintain. If sass' gets preggers then so be it, no plans though.”

“Abby is so cute! 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 for the terrible time!? Heck, Laurel is already started!”

“Happy B-Day Abby, ya cutie!”

“Does Abby know about TT yet?

Happy Birthday to Abby! Toddlers are a hoot.”

“I think that was my cue that it's waaaayyy past my bedtime.

G'Night folks!”

“Happy birthday a day late! I'm 18, almost 19, and I'm still daddy's lil girl. My parents still call me Lala.. thats what I named myself when I was still signing. Good luck too you guys!”

“More birthday wishes for many more great adventures for Abby, Sass and Birch. Glad I could share that Mexican dinner with you three.

Great pictures tarabull (hope the accidental phone call didn't disturb you too much while you weren't feeling well).”

“WOW! Happy Birthday Abby! I thought of you while singing Happy Birthday to my sis-in-law yesterday, accompainied by an accordian at Frankenmuth. Hope the hot dogs and mac and cheese were better than the chicken dinner I had!

That pic of Abby on the boat reading a book really, really cracked me up and put tears in my eyes. It was so sweet. :)”

“Thanks everyone for the happy birthdays. We had eleven family members over for kosher dogs, pink cupcakes, watermelon and Ltwtbkpkr's version of homemade mac n cheese (it's to die for), Abby sucked up as much attention as she could and got way too many presents (those darn grammas). It was a fun day.

Don't look for any announcment threads about pregnancies coming from our house for many years, if ever. That's right, Abby's going to be spoiled rotten and have to own up to her mistakes instead of blaming her little bro or sis. There are worse things in this world, lol. We hear enough about it from the grandparents so not a word from you wonderful TTers!! ;)”

“Happy birthday to you all's wierd little wonder! :-)”

“You won't hear it from me. I think a solo child is the absolute bestest!”

“That's a cutie pie. Happy day to her. You will have to teach her to troll and she can have so much fun ...”

“Thanks Skully. Not too many people say that and it's encouraging. =)”

“As the father of an exceptional daughter who is an only child, I think that Abby is going to be just fine. Besides, she has enough playmates among the TT crowd to make her feel like she has lots of juvenile siblings! ;p”

“That's wonderful.... Happy Birthday to Abigail (and her Mom and Dad)!”

“Yes, with all those virtual TT siblings to play with, I can hear it now....

Sass: "Who let the dogs run through the house with muddy paws?"

Abby: "Buddha Bear."

Sass: "Abby...."

Abby: "OK, Bacpac."

Sass: "Abby, tell me the truth."

Abby: "UpUrs!"

Sass: "What did you say, young lady?"

Abby, folding her arms and looking the other way: "Ignore this user."

Sass runs to the computer and starts a thread -- Leaving TT to save my daughter.”

“LMFAO!! That is tooo funny Pekka!”

“pekka, that is great. Problem is it will happen one day. Just think what Abby will be like when she really starts getting to know all of the on TT.”

“All of the what? Lechers? lol....”

“pekka - lmao!!! that was sooo funny!

and, no worries about the call. your wife sure had me confused, tho. it was nice to have a unexpected chat w/ ya. keep warm!”

“Wow, seesm like yesterday when I started this thread....5 years now. Time is racing.”

“It certainly is. Abby is such a beautiful little girl. Savor the moments! and give her a big birthday kiss and hug from me.”

“Fer Joy!!!”

“Wanna see time suspended? Fast forward to the moment Joy tells you: "We're pregnant AGAIN!" time will stand still in that second....LOL”
