SO Excited!!

We are leaving today to go visit my sister Danielle! We haven't seen her in over 9 months and I can't wait! For those who don't know, she is in a residential center in Southern Utah getting the help she needs to conquer her issues and learn to lead a happy and healthy life. She turned 18 on Sunday so we are praying that she will choose to stay and finish the program, now that she is able to choose for herself to leave or not.
She left in September so she missed Adam's 2nd birthday, Christmas, and all of Abby's little life. I can't wait for her to meet Abby and I'm even more excited for her to see how much Adam has changed in 9 months. She was always so wonderful with him and he just adores her! He prays for her every night and is constantly talking about her, even though he hasn't seen her for so long. We only get to spend a few hours with her on Thursday and Friday but we will treasure them!
Stay tuned for lots of pictures of Adam and Abby with their Aunt DeeDee (and me with my baby sister)!!

This was the last day we saw her before she left. She didn't know she was leaving, but I did. It was so bittersweet watching her play and love on Adam. It broke my heart (and still does) that she has missed so much of his life. Have I mentioned how excited I am for our trip???
