Tidbits.

Just a little note... last Sunday was Allie's FIRST day in Nursery at church. She was so excited. Brandon and Lisa reported that she did very well, stole the show amongst her classmates and that no one had more attachment anxiety than them. It is amazing how quickly she is growing. I have always referred to her as Baby, but she isn't much of a baby anymore. I want time to slow down just a little! Oh how I love her.

UpdaTe.

Just a few things that I have been up to:

• Cohabiting with the younger sister. Always a good time. Probably too much fun in most cases.
• Arrested Development Marathons.
• Being a hardcore APXer.
  
• Reading.
• Running while Hillary rides her scooter next to me and talks to me.
• Visiting baby and going to the zoo with her!
• Meeting Yulia!
  
• Going to all 3 hours of church.
• Dabbling in the idea of going to school again.

For your viewing pleasure:

Like I said, hardcore. HAHA. Josh did not believe me when I told him that I always look ridiculous in hats...this is what he got.

This was the first night hanging out with our adorable Yulia friend from Russia!

Haha, I LOVE this picture of baby. She has a "palm tree" on her head. When I was a baby, I had one on the very top of my head that my mom tried SO hard to get to go down, but it refused. To this day I have a nice little cowlick there...

Happy Birthday Baby

On Tuesday March 10, 2009, Allie Grace Myers celebrated her 1st birthday.
It is hard to believe that it has already been a whole year since she was born. She is such a beautiful baby! I love Brandon and Lisa so much for being such amazing parents to her and friends to me. I recently went up to their home to visit and had such a fun time. When I finally decided that it was best to place Baby for adoption, I had no intention of staying in contact with her or the family at all beyond the placement. But after meeting Brandon and Lisa, I fell in love with them too. I knew that they were perfect and exactly what Allie needed. It is amazing how well we get along and how comfortable we are together. I don't want to get too personal, but I just wanted to say Thank You to them and Happy Birthday to baby. I love you guys.

BABY- Happy 10 Months!

Here are some new pictures of baby as well. It is hard to believe that she is 1o months old today...

Playing with her Grandma's glasses and probably refusing to give them back.

I guess she inherited a bit of an attitude...

I warned them that she would probably have bad vision...

Merry Christmas!! Staying up and playing with her presents.

She is getting so big!!
