Chattanooga "Ba-cation"

Mary Lee was very excited about our overnight "ba-cation" to the Chattanooga Choo Choo! She LOVED it! Griffin was off so we took a quick, inexpensive trip. We had fun just hanging as a family!

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday, we headed to Old Baker Farm with friends! If you've never been, this place is great! There is so much to do...hayrides, pumpkin picking, animal petting, swinging, tractor rides, corn maze, etc...It definitely is worth going to. Mary Lee had fun with her friends!

Pondering life's questions

Carefree :-)

Taking a break on Daddy!

Sweet daddies...makes my heart happy!

Mary Lee Turns 2!

Mary Lee is 2! I cannot believe it! She is a GREAT 2 year old...seriously, she is so sweet, smart, sassy, funny, and beautiful! We are truly blessed! Mary Lee talks in full sentences and can pretty much carry on a conversation like an adult. She talks very clearly and has never really done the jibberish thing. She is very shy and reserved around new people or sometimes even people we know. She often has a serious look on her face. Our chunky little girl is finally slimming up. She weighs 29 pounds at 2 years old and is in the 75th percentile for weight (This is quite a change from our usual 95th or so percentile). Mary Lee is our world, and we are thankful we were chosen to be her parents.

Sweet Birthday Girl - even though she was running a fever during her party :-(

Mickey Mouse Inflatable (which Mary Lee never touched)

The BEST birthday present from all of the grandparents...We have spent at least 2 hours a day out there since she got it :-)

Ready for some cake

Sweet Friends

Mary Lee had a great birthday party despite being a little under the weather. Thank you to all of our friends and family who helped us celebrate! We love you baby girl!

I'm back..with some exciting news!

I've taken about a year long hiatus from blogging. To be honest, I'm ok with that. Being a full time working mom and wife of a resident, I have to really prioritize my time and activities. My focus has been on Mary Lee, and for that, I have no regrets. I am planning to try to get back to blogging, though I can't promise how often you will see a new blog. This post will be short, but it serves as my re-entry into the blogosphere. Since I don't really have any new pictures on my computer right now (still on my camera), I will leave you with some exciting news for those who don't already know...WE ARE ADOPTING!! I really want to save the details to share in a post when I have time to sit down and re-cap how the Lord has been leading us on this journey. So for now, I'll leave you hanging with that! Check in again soon!
