Abby update - February 17

It was a beautiful day today in Wimberley, so we just tried to enjoy beautiful Wimberley. The kids and I took a walk this afternoon down to the Blanco River with the dogs and Abby's friend Hannah. As I walk along Flite Acres Road, I can't help but be swept up in memories of Abby's accident, but there are also a lot of good memories down that road for us--of swimming in the river, of horseback rides and bike rides, of visits to friends' houses--so, when the emotions of the accident and the subsequent fears try to take over, I try to hang on to those memories and the hope that we will make more good memories. Today we did (especially in a fun encounter with some very curious llamas!), and we gained encouragement by meeting yet a few more former strangers who are now praying for Abby...

All in all, we spent a lot of time outside today (except for some time in the gym cheering on Frank's basketball team as they "faced the giants"--Frank's team played a tough game with a lot of heart). This evening we hiked around the property with friends. Abby did great on the rocky, uneven trails, and she even jumped on the trampoline without me for the first time! She also worked with Arby a lot today. I think it was a tiring day for her, but just being outside in the warm sunshine was good for all of our bodies and souls...

And now, my body and soul need some rest, so Good Night!
