A Life of Love

Just an idea of how far behind I am, these pictures are from March 4th. 60 years ago Nonnie and Grandaddy were married. 60 years later they have 3 children, 6 grandkids, 6 great-grand kids (and one on the way)! I thank God everyday for these two amazing people and how they have shaped my life and showed us all the true meaning of love!

11 month {PHOTOS}

The day Grace turned 11 months I took her outside after her nap. You can tell in these pictures that she's still got the sleepy-eyes! I figured I'd better post them quick because she'll be a year old two weeks from today! Woah! Where has time gone?

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday we woke up to finding what the Easter Bunny brought Grace! She got lots of fun goodies- A tea set, maracas, books, etc.


Then we went to the 10 oclock service at at Scott's grandmothers church, and then 11 o'clock service at my church, and then back to the bay for lunch at Nonnie & Grandaddy's.

It was such a beatutiful day that went out in the boat after lunch! It certainly was a wonderful relaxing day!

Egg Hunt

I've been having issues with my computer uploading images to blogger, so I haven't been able to post much lately therefore I'm very behind on photos. Hopefully I can get on the ball and post some images for you to see now that it seems to be working (for the moment, anyway!)

Here's some photos from the Easter Egg Hunt that our church has every year at Mr. Bobby & Mrs. Myrtle's house on the sound.

11 months

Today marks Grace's 11 month birthday! :) It's so hard to believe that in just one month we will be celebrating a year of her life. I couldn't imagine my life any other way. Her smile brightens up my day as well as many strangers that she comes in contact with.

A few facts about Grace at 11 months:
*She has a total of 6 teeth.
*Her newest word is "ball".
*She's pulling up on anything and everything & walking around things (while holding on)
*Grace has mastered drinking from her sippy cup and has learned to drink from a straw.
*Bananas. This kid LOVES them!
*I can tell she's becoming a Daddy's girl.
*She seems to understand the word 'No'.
*She's learned to make lots of silly grins. (& they're so cute with her little teeth shining!)
*She's taken a liking to broccoli. Amazing huh?


She's napping now, but since its so pretty out (minus the pollen), I hope to get a few 11 month pictures of her, but while she's in her slumber I thought I'd take the time to write a few things.

On Tuesday I took Grace to the pediatrician because she has had runny eyes, a runny nose, and a terrible cough. It was like she'd get strangled on whatever it was she was trying to get up and then almost lose her breath from coughing so hard. She had been pulling at her ears too so I knew it was time to take her in. The pediatrican said it didn't seem to be in her lungs (thank goodness), that the cough could be from sinus drainage and that her ear seemed a little red. So he put us on an antibiotic. As of this afternoon she was running a slight fever, but her cough has seemed to not be as often as it was Tuesday. It's still bad in the morning and late at night.

While at the doctors Grace weighed in at 17 pounds 2 ounces, exactly 10 pounds from the day she was born. I was expecting her to weigh a lot more than that, seeing as how she weighed 16 pounds at her 9 month check up. I knew for sure she's had a growth spurt in the past two weeks, maybe that was just in length. I guess we'll see how long she is when we go in for her 1 YEAR well visit.

After the doctors we stopped by the grocery store and *sunshine* had just fallen asleep in the car. I decided to see if I could keep her asleep for a little longer, so I strapped her to me while we shopped and she slept until we got to the check out line. Here's a picture I snapped with my cell phone while in the store...


I have so many more pictures that I want to post: random pictures, easter pictures, etc. so hopefully I'll find the time this weekend to do just that. Before we know it I'll be posting pictures from her birthday party next month- my how time is flying by!
