Happy Birthday Nonny!

I just wanted to wish my mom a very happy birthday today! You are a great example of Christian woman, wife and mother. Thank you for all that you do for us. We love you and miss you dearly! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Abigail is 15 months old

Just a year ago, we were enjoying that Abigail was sleeping through the night and starting to smile and coo. Now she is walking around everywhere jibber-jabbering up a storm. I love watching her grow up. She is an amazing little girl. We are truly blessed with a great daughter. Thank you God for our miracle! Until next time...God is good! All the time!

Nonny and Papa visit

We had the great pleasure of having my parents visit for a few days. Mark got a new job and he had to take two days of day-time orientation. My parents willingly came up to watch Abigail for two days while I went to work and Mark went to orientation. Mom had dinner made for us both nights. :) My parents were such a great help to us. Abigail had such a good time with her Nonny and Papa. During their stay, we were able to visit the family that my mom nannied for while they lived here. It was a good visit. Abigail had fun with the boys and the dogs. Thanks again Nonny and Papa for coming to visit. We love you! We really wished it was a closer drive. :) Until next time...God is good! All the time!

Visit from Grandpa and Grandma Donna

Mark's dad and stepmom came up on Saturday for a visit. It is always a pleasure to have them around. It took just a little while for Abigail to warm up to her Grandpa and Grandma Donna. She had a great time playing with her toys and books with them. Grandpa got her a small baseball glove which she loved. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Donna for blessing us with your visit. We love you! Until next time...God is good! All the time!

Look who is walking

Abigail is getting more and more confident in her walking. She actually walks from room to room now. It is amazing to see her grow and experience everything. It won't be too long and she will be running around! We are truly blessed. Thank you God for our healthy, happy and beautiful baby girl. Enjoy the video. Until next time..God is good! All the time!

We are blessed. Abigail is 14 months old today. Just yesterday she took her first steps. We are excited about all her new experiences. Thank you God for our healthy, beautiful and happy baby girl. Until next time...God is good! All the time!

Abigail took her first steps!

We are thrilled to say that Abigail took her first steps today. We got the second try on video. It won't be long now before she gets the hang of it and will be running around! Thank you God for our healthy, happy, beautiful daughter! We are blessed. Enjoy the video. Until next time...God is good! All the time!

Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas holiday visiting our families. We headed to Virginia Beach on Christmas Eve. It's a two hour drive down there but thankfully traffic wasn't bad at all. We got unpacked at Grandma Belle's house and then headed over to Mark's cousin's house for the Hadley Christmas Eve party. The food was good and it was nice to see his relatives. Abigail was able to play with a few of her third cousins and had a blast. There was a gift exchange and we unexpectingly got a couple gifts for Abigail. Thank you to all that gave! We then headed back to Mark's mom's house and stayed the night. Abigail slept very well considering she was not in her crib. That was a great Christmas present to me! On Christmas morning I fixed green bean casserole to take to my cousin's house for Christmas lunch. While it was baking, Mark, Belle and I exchanged gifts. Abigail got even more stuff! She is one blessed little girl. Thank you Grandma Belle! After the gift exchange, we all packed up and drove an hour to Elizabeth City, NC to spend time with my mom's side of the family. It was so good to see my parents again. Christmas lunch was delicious as always. We exchanged gifts in the afternoon. Abigail got more and more stuff! Thanks Nonni and Papa! We had to head back around 3pm since Mark had to work Christmas night. It was hard saying bye to family. We wished we lived closer to family. It's hard being in Richmond without our families. Don't get us wrong, the church family is wonderful but there's nothing like your real family! Thank you to all of our family for loving and supporting us so much. We are truly blessed! Enjoy the pictures. Until next time...God is good! All the time!
