Abigail Hope Vernon joined our family on August 10th, 2007 at 10:30 am, at 21.5 inches and 7 pounds 13 ounces. We are amazed by her every day and are so grateful for this healthy, beautiful baby girl.

Abi's First Word
Friday, November 30, 2007
Unlike Lori, I never promised myself that I wouldn't write mass amounts of posts about my children. That, combined with the fact that much of our recent ministry tasks have been less than blogworthy (really great, just not exciting on a monitor) and the fact that the Broncos have also been less than blogworthy gives me complete freedom to put up another post about my baby girl.
The other day Abi said her first word, and John caught it on camera. You might not believe she said anything after you see this video, but to everyone in the room it was clear as day (we even had a Dr. in the room and HE heard it, if that ain't proof I don't know what is...)
I also added a blip at the end of the clip that shows how much I have embraced this "talking about my kid" thing.
Paul, You crack me up! I loved the vidio of Abi's first word. Your web site is amazing...it brings me all the way over the oceans right into Chiang Rai and the villages. I love it!
Say hi to the family. All my love.
