Miss Allie and her huge pink bow.

The beautiful Julianna

Such wonderful big brothers and sister.

The girls had a wonderful time at their 1st Chinese New Year Celebration.

Our little Colts fan eating her BBQ and potato salad.

Allie munching down on a rib! What's a pig pickin' if you can't pick every bit of meat off the bone.

She had to have her face painted too!

Fun Day in the Snow!!

So in love with this baby!!

The boys are loving the snow and destroying the yard.



Miss Allie really had fun playing in the snow. She loves being outside no matter the weather conditions!

Someone's hair is growing!!

Allie hair was cut the day before we met her. I was shocked to see how short it was!


This is almost 6 months later! My how she has changed! Now, that's hair I can put a bow in!! Yay!!

Miss Allie showing off some mad skills.

Allie loves using her baby fork to eat. She is so funny because she has learn to "stab" the food in order for it stick to the fork. Too cute.
She had a great report at the doctor yesterday. She is 22lbs and is 30 inches tall. The doctor said her head is growing well and her ears and throat look great. I was a little worried because she had a runny nose and a little cough. She ask about her bonding with me and could tell that Allie was securely attached. She did have to get 3 shots but stop crying as soon as i picked her up. Daycare continues to go well. She did have a bite mark on her arm the other day and I was alarmed because I didn't receive a call from her teacher. They weren't aware of it and I was happy the skin wasn't broken. She still crys when I drop her off and that still pulls at my heart strings. She loves playing outside with Dalton and Brian. They really make an effort every day to play with her and teach her "boy" stuff. She plays rough with them and even rougher with me!!
For those of you who follow my blog I would like you to consider sending a small donation to the Red Cross or some organization that would send help to Haiti. These people are in dire need of our help. I ask that you say a special prayer for the people there and for those traveling there in the relief efforts.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas with the boys and Miss Allie. She has been under the weather and it is really starting to show in the last picture. She loves sliding down her slide and scooting around in her hot pink car!! As with most babies, she was more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes after we were done. We can't wait to share many more Christmas's with our children!

Merry Christmas

Allie did great with Santa. She was all smiles when they took her picture. She is quite the poser when it's time to have her picture taken.

We wanted to wish everyone one a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
