A year ago today our sweet Marysa was born. What a blessing she is to us! Time truely flies. You have to treasure and enjoy each moment with them, and we have with her. Looking at these pictures I can't believe how much she has changed and grown. What a special day this is! We love you Marysa Mae!
Wow...I just realized it's almost been a month since I've blogged. The holidays sure keep you busy. We had a great Christmas spending time with family and we really enjoyed watching Marysa experience her first Christmas. And now it's 2009! We hope you all have a great New Year! Next on our agenda is Marysa's 1st Birthday, which is January 7th. I can't believe she is almost a year old. Anyway...here are a few pictures of her first Christmas!
...and I just realized we got NO pictures of Marysa with Uncle Bub or Aunt Chris! SORRY!
TO ILLINOIS! Me, Brenda, and Marysa went to Illinios to visit GiGi and Poppy. For those of you who don't know who that is-it's Josh's grandparents, Brenda's parents, and Marysa's great-grandparents. We stayed a week and Marysa did great the whole time...even on the 5 hour drive there and back. We had a wonderful visit with the family. Marysa loved everyone and everyone loved her. GiGi even taught me how to bake homemade cinammon rolls and a homemade apple pie. Marysa had lots of fun riding on the tractor with Poppy and riding on Uncle Joe's bike. We spent lots of time relaxing and just spending time together. The day we left we even got a little snow. Brrrrrr....... While we were there we also got to visit with Aunt Chris, Uncle Bub, Dawn, Brian and their kids, Cody, Misty, and Kyle. Of course, Marysa loved them too! We look foward to our next visit... I'm going to add another post above this one with just pictures because I couldn't fit all I wanted to in just this blog.
My mom is starting a new tradition with Marysa. Every Thanksgiving they are going to make a gingerbread house. This is the making and results of the first one. I think it turned out great to be our first one. We had a little downfalls, but all in all it was a lot of fun. Marysa loved playing with the box more than anything...go figure!
Marysa was 10 months old yesterday. Time flies! I can't believe that in 2 more months she will be a year old. We love you doodlebug!
