Happy Mothers Day

I hope everyone had a Happy Mothers Day. Mark asked me what I wanted to do and my crazy response was "lets go hiking!" Yes at 35 weeks pregnant I decide we should go for a walk in the woods. We drove to MountEagle and hiked almost a mile. I thought I could make it more but an extra 25 pounds said otherwise. It was great and Marleigh loved riding on Daddy's back. She is destined to be a little nature girl. We made it home after missing a turn, but had the chance to drive through beautiful country towns.
We had a wonderful time at Missy's house and Madden is learning to tolerate the two wild girls. We almost got a picture with Nanny.
It was my perfect day. Thank you Mark and Marleigh for making my day so special.

Celebrations

April was a busy month full of celebrations. It is hard to believe that a year has gone by and my little girl is a year old. Time has gone by so fast and she has changed so much. I look back at pictures when she first came into the world and look at her now with amazement. She is such a sweet soul with a smile that will make all your troubles go away.
We had her birthday dinner with Missy and Maymie at our house. I made Marleigh and Maymie little cakes and Marleigh had her first sugar experience. She loved the icing and thought it would look good in her hair. Mark and Maymie were a little nervous about her being so dirty and wanted to bath her immediately. She had a blast and enjoyed every minute.
We then had her birthday party and celebrated with family and friends. Thank you so much to everyone that came to share that special time with us. She was so excited to see all her favorite people together. She had such a big day that she fell asleep in her highchair eating dinner.
Enjoy the pictures and thank you to everyone who shared our special day.
