We celebrated Abigail’s birthday last weekend. Â It’s hard to believe she is 7 years old! Â I think she is really much older. Â You see, she asked everyone to bring things for the animal shelter instead of bringing presents for her. Â We never suggested it or even mentioned that they need stuff at the shelter. Â She decided completely on her own to ask for donations. Â So, everyone who came to her party brought things for animals including leashes and collars, dog and cat food, cleaning products, and cat litter. Â She was delighted as she delivered it to the shelter yesterday. Â I am so proud of my big little girl!
Delivery time!
She still had a big time at her party too.  We rented a shelter at a local city park and she invited family and some  friends.  There was a playground nearby so they stormed the castle and launched off in space ships and taught school, all in the jungle gym.  We jump-roped and hula-hooped and played whiffle ball.  It was a great time and Abigail told me it was her best birthday ever!
My birthday is a ways off yet, but I think I may follow her lead…it’s hard to beat a good game of whiffle ball!
Happy Birthday, Abigail!!! Seven is a good age!
What a precious little heart for the world around her!

I think we all had a great time. I even tried hula hooping briefly. What fun.
That Abigail is such a sweet kid!
