Sophia's First Christmas!

Sophia's first Christmas was great!  A little busy at first but such a nice time spent with family and friends!

My parents stayed with us for 3 nights over the holidays and had such a great time with Sophia.  She loves having so many Grandparents who adore her so much!

We were all spoiled this year and had to work really hard to find spots for all of our new goodies!  Thank you to you all!  Sophia has a toy room that is FULL of toys now and two new sets of wheels to get her around town in style! (a wagon and a push car)

Thanks to Skype, we also got to do Christmas morning with my sister Chrissy, Joe and the kids!  It was almost like having them there.... Really wish they were.  Miss you all!

Now it is time to ring in a new year, celebrate Sophia's 11 month Birthday and begin our new health kick!  

Happy Holidays to you all!!!!

First Santa Encounter....

If I can figure out how our scanner works, I will try to scan Sophia's official 2009 Santa photo.  These are the ones my Dad took while I was jumping up and down, waving my arms and singing to keep Sophia smiling and to prevent her from looking at Santa.  Eventually she looked at him, looked at me, looked at my Dad and then back to Santa.  Her face turned sour and the tears started pouring.  Oh well..... she lasted a good 2 minutes before that happened!

We are so excited for Sophia's first Christmas.  All of the presents are wrapped, the stockings are hung and we are pretty sure that Santa Claus is going to be really good to Sophia.  I wrote a letter to him myself and told him what a good little girl Sophia has been.

Can't wait to see her on Christmas morning.  I will post some pictures of the special day for you all to see.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!!!!

Love,

Sandra, Adam and Sophia

Home Sweet (but cold) Home!

Well it is all done!  We have officially tied the knot....

We had a wonderful trip, great weather for two weeks, lots of fun and time to relax and of course the most perfect wedding day we could have asked for.  We were told to expect rain (lots of rain) on the big day but I asked for a little help from a very special couple up in heaven and they pulled through yet again (thanks Nannie and Grandaddy)!

I will post some of our official wedding photos once I get them from my awesome photographer friend Audrey!  Big thanks go out to her for taking on that job.

Sophia had a busy two weeks in cuba and seemed to really enjoy the weather.  She grew her eighth tooth while there, learned to crawl quite fast, learned to point and say "dat", and started to learn to pull herself up onto furniture or Adam and I.  She is a very busy girl now!

I will update some more photos as they come in and fill you in on some more stories.  

Cheers to a great vacation and a great wedding!  Thanks to you all!
