A New Year... A Fresh Start

Our little girl is constantly growing. She is now actually playing and grabbing toys.

She doesn't hate tummy time as much anymore. She is much stronger with holding her head up. She is now attempting to roll over. She is 3/4 way there.

3 Years of Wedded Bliss

Now....

Marriage is such a wonderful blessing. I count my lucky stars for God bringing Michael in my life. I look forward to many more years with him. LOVE YOU PEANUT!

A Baby Dedication

On January 16, 2010, we had Audrie's church baby dedication. It is a Sunday were our congregation celebrates on the new babies and new members of the previous year. Also, the church is requested to join in the spiritual upbringing of all the new little one.
"It take a village to raise a child."

Audrie's Meme gave her this beautiful gown to wear.

Too bad she got a stomach bug and couldn't come :(

Of course, there had to be decorations....

Audrie's godmother, Emmylou, and Auntie Ashley came too! There is not a doubt this little girl is loved.

2010 was a wonderful year-God gave us Audrie. You can get any better than that. Mine and Michael's world has completely transformed from just the two of us to being parents. There is no greater responsibility than raising a child. By all means, we are not doing this alone. Our family and friends are our support system. As Michael calls them our "bungee chords." We thank all of you for your love and support. I like to think of each new year as a fresh start. As you know, I don't believe in new year's resolutions. Mainly because people never seem to follow through with them. Or....I know that I don't. I do believe in reaching goals. So, I have a new year word, CONTENTMENT. My focus for 2011 is to be content. So many people are always wanting more and more. We are told by society this is the American dream. But is it? Or...is the American dream what you make it? I feel as though I am living my American dream. I have loving husband, beautiful daughter, amazing family and friends, my health, a job and most importantly a God who loves me unconditionally. What else could I possibly long for? So, 2011 is to be filled with the feeling of contentment.
