Toads-in-the-Hole

Tonight we said good-bye to a very special, dear friend ...

Abbie has been Henry's sole baby-sitter since I finished my maternity leave last June, and has given Joel and I several absolutely necessary dates over this past year. Ever reliable, ever caring, Abbie has been an intimate part of our daily lives, showing up faithfully at 6:25 a.m. for a ten-hour shift on our working mornings. But, more than that, Abbie was ever loved by Adelaide and Henry, making every departure smooth and easy.

But, now she's off to seek her fortune in the great big city, and we wish her all the fun and all of the good adventure that life can offer!

Still, we will miss her greatly.
