Little Flower PiggyTails

In the baby crib that my Uncle

made for my dolls years ago. In snow, this picture is misleading...she hated the snow!

Maybe she'll follow in her
Aunt Kimberly's footsteps???

A good book with a good friend.

Halloween Pictures 2008

Soooo...we were back in the ER this weekend. Maybe, we should sign up for some kind of frequent visitor's program. This time, James and I were in the basement watching TV with Alyssa between us. She was trying to get a toy off the side table. I handed her the toy and then looked away. The next think I know, there was a loud thump and crying. She had fallen and hit her head on the lower part of the side table, maybe on a drawer that was partially opened, maybe on the bottom corner that sicks out???? Anyway, I went to pick her up thinking that she'd probably have a bruise when I saw the blood that was now all over her eye and I couldn't tell where it was coming from....scary!!!! James got a shirt and wiped the blood. There was a pretty big open gash. He immediatly said, let's go. So we were back in the ER. It took them a while to get the edges of the cut to line up but they finally got it and used super glue instead of stitches. Hopefully there won't be a scar!!

12 Months Old- 12 Month Onesie

Has she grown? I think that she'll be able to wear this onesie for a little while longer still. It's been 12 Months, One year, 365 days.... It's funny that I have such mixed feelings. In one way it feels like just yesterday we were at the hospital waiting for her to arrive. In another way, I can't believe there was a time that she was not in our lives. She is a blessing in every way!
