WOW

All, I can say is that these past several months have been hard to get through. For those of you that try to keep up with us, I am sorry that I have not been updating on a regular basis. I need to get better and I promise that I will try to keep up from here forward. The weather here has been crazy, Friday was close to 80, Saturday in the 60's, then last night sleet, rain, and snow. Today the weather has been cool, but now sunny. Friday evening we decided to join a couple of families from daycare at the park. Britton had an absolute ball. She went down the slide and was swinging. I did get a few pictures. Yesterday we spent the day with Chad's family and little miss got her bangs cut for the first time. Mommy did pretty well not crying but I tell you what she doesn't look like a baby anymore. She is truly one sweet and beautiful little toddler. I can't really believe that she is 17 months old. She has blessed our lives with so many things in such a short time. I am so thankful that she had almost a year with Poppy. She still floors me each and everyday with blowing Poppy kisses and looking at his picture and saying Love you! Tonight we were outside in the front yard and she kept wanting to go into the street. I finally made sure that she held my hand and then we walked together back to the house from the mailbox. She is just so smart.

It's about time!

Well what can I say things have been crazy and the last thing on my mind has been to update the blog. I am sorry. As most of my friends know my stepdad (Ray) passed away on September 26th. He had been in the hospital since July 14th. He is truly missed and my life will go on but there will always be a big hole where he is missing. Britton was very fortunate to get to meet him, but her time with him was cut short and for that I am very sorry. Britton has helped me get through this tough time, by just being herself, such a happy baby.

I really can't believe that next week she will be one. She is the best thing that has happened to Chad and I. We are closer than ever and so much in love with our little girl. Here are a couple of pictures of Britton and her Poppy (Grandpa Ray).

9 months old

Wow! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing Britton home. The last few weeks have been crazy. My step dad has been in the hospital and undergone surgery with more treatments to come. We have been truly blessed and humbled by all the support and prayers that we have received. I truly believe that Britton has been some of the best medicine for her Poppy (the name Ray wants to go by). She is such a bright spot in all of our lives.

Britton is crawling all over the place and being so much more inquisitive. Just tonight she has started pulling herself to a standing position. I don't think it will take her too long to figure out how to walk. She now has 5 teeth and I am pretty sure another one on its way in as well.

We recently took Britton to Portrait Innovations for her 9 month pictures. I have attached a few here.






Thank you for checking in on us! Have a great week. Yes, Grandpa Bill, we have pictures for you that we will get in the mail this week. Love you!

Here is a video of Britton and her cousin Maddy playing on the Fourth of July. Remember to go to the bottom of the page and mute the music first.



I guess that I either need to post more videos or write down the way to upload these videos to the blog. I finally figured it out.

Have a great weekend!
