And again, Happy Birthday to Her Royal Highness, The Princess Abby Monkey of the Family Kilian!

I can't believe we celebrate your 4th Birthday today! I say it all the time, but I just don't know where the time goes! You are growing up so quickly and becoming such a little person. We are told all the time about how much personality and "spunk" you have; And everyone who says it is spot on! When you arrived in our lives four years ago today, after beating your mother up for the better part of 27 hours, you single-handedly managed to change the way we do everything in our lives -- And I wouldn't give back a minute of it! My only regret of the past four years is that they have all gone too quickly, with no indication that time is going to slow so that we can enjoy more time with you. I am ever thankful to have you in my life, as I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be your daddy.

So tonight, while wearing one of your new birthday monkey shirts, we will go out to dinner (you pick the place!) and we will share a couple hours of time together to honor and celebrate the day you arrived and made this world a better place to live. And because it's your birthday, we can even stay up a little later than usual to share a Slurpee, while we check out the moon and discuss why the moon can't sleep in your bed tonight.

Happy Birthday, Abby! We love you!
