Updates!

                                                                         First Swim!!
                                                     Sitting up like such a big girl!


Hey All!  Well, we've been slowly getting back to life in the wake of losing our Papa.  It's been a hard road, but God has been so good and provided for our every need.  Paige is now 7 months old!  Hard to believe, huh?  She is rolling all over town and has the appearance of her first tooth as of today (sorry, too small for pictures yet).  She can sit up (with a little help :))  and is such a chatterbox.  She even went swimming at her Aunt Annette's house for the first time last week.  She absolutely loved it and didn't want to get out of the water (she takes after her mom ).  Here are some fun pics of our trip to the Dallas Zoo on February 25th - the day before we lost Papa, Paige first swim and some others.  Enjoy!

Papa




On Thursday, February 26th at 3 p.m. we lost one of the greatest men this world has ever known.  Our beloved Papa was taken home to be with the Lord and we are heartbroken over this loss.  He was the kindest, most loving, wise, godly and wonderful man we've ever known, and we miss him so much.  Things will be hard without his love, warmth, kindness, selfless attitude, wise counsel, hugs and kisses.   We are praying for strength in the days to come as we learn to live without him, and in the years ahead as we try to teach Paige about the wonderful man her Papa was.

California Trip

Paige and Mama got to go to mommy's hometown, the OC, for Aunt Alyssa's baby shower.
It was such a blessed trip!  Paige did great on the airplane (helped by a complimentary seat upgrade), and got to meet so many people we love.  And while we were there Paige grew so much.  In that short week she started waving, learned to do raspberries with her mouth and started sucking on her toes.  Too cute!  Paige got to see some of her mom's favorite places like the beach and finally got to meet her great grandma Arlene.  

So cool and ready for the beach.

So joyful. 


Pretty girls.
