Easter






Faith had a lovely first Easter. She woke up in her bunny pj's (a gift from my mom). Isn't she just such a happy baby when she gets up in the mornings? I just had to shoot a couple of pictures of her. And you can really see those bottom teeth! I think she has almost eight teeth now!

We got to attend my mom's church for their Easter service. Faith wore her strawberry dress to church that her nana (Derek's mom) got her, and if I do say so, was the most beautiful baby there. We had an awesome family dinner at my mom's. an extra special treat for me and my brother was the chicken and dressing my mom made. This is a dish that my grandma on my dad's side always makes at holidays. I don't know the last time I had some. It seems my grandma and I never cross paths anymore now that we live in different states.

We all said a prayer at dinenr. Derek and I talked about our big announcement (well big for us), and the blessing that is to us. Faith missed dinner since she was already in bed, but there was much talk of her. And, we celebrated Derek's birthday. I made him a cake, and we sang happy birthday.

It was a beautiful day, and not just because of the weather!

(Did I mention that I am so in love with this guy?!?)


Spring Vacation 2009

Talk about cabin fever!!! This winter seemed to never end. We decided to head out east and visit with my mom and family in Virginia. We had a wonderful time!. Faith did amazing on the car ride out there and back. We're talking an 18 hour drive one way! We took lots of pictures for you. Faith spent a lot of time gardening, eating, playing, and just plain getting tons of attention. EVERYONE loves Faith. Derek and I got to see the ocean for the first time, but I'll post more about that later.


(Brian, Jacklyn's stepdad, can't wait to take Faith for a ride on the tractor.)

(Shhh... all tuckered out after a day on the farm.)
