Where have I been?

So sorry for the extended absence. We moved in late May. What a nightmare. It took me two full months to pack, what with a toddler following me around unpacking everything, and we still aren't all settled in the new, bigger and with a yard, house. We've had two family weddings, visits from out of state friends, adopted a dog and been through two major shift changes at work. It's been a crazy summer. But I'll be updating soon with pics and more details.....hopefully.

13 months!

So Mali's 1st birthday was a month ago but I'm just getting pics posted. oh well. she had an absolute blast.

I can't sing. But I'm a Mom now so I find myself constantly doing it anyway. Only, I can't remember any more than the first verse (or one line) from classics such as "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly." I get tired of singing the same verse over and over.......enter bussongs.com. A life saver.

Mali's First Christmas

We went to see the lights on Candy Cane Lane

Her Grandparents showered her with gifts

And of course Santa came

We had an amazing time with Mali this holiday season. Everything is just more special with her in our lives....I know her grandparents agree!

Is an excellent photographer. I've been waiting since the day Malorie was born for her to take these pictures. www.bellatristanophotography.com
