First Thanksgiving

Reading the paper with Daddy trying to find the best Black Friday sales!

Well this was our first Thanksgiving with Kaleigh and it was wonderful. It is hard to imagine that a year ago we still didn't know who she was. Two weeks later we saw her pictures for the first time. I can truely say that we had so much to be thankful for this year. The most important thing is God making our family a true family. I will admit that being a mom is not always easy and Kaleigh hasn't caught up as fast as we had hoped but I wouldn't change a thing. She is a wonderful, happy, determined little girl who has brought us so much happiness. Only another mom could understand how exciting it is to walk into a room and see her face light up just because she has seem me. I will say that cooking dinner would not have been easy without Brent this year. He really spent a lot of time keeping Kaleigh occupied so that I could cook. He gave her, her first tootsie roll pop. It was peppermint and she loved it and got it everywhere. Anyway enjoy the pictures! Can't wait to celebrate Christmas with our little one this year!!

First boo boo

My curious active little one decided to try to catch the water as it was going down the drain after her bath and stuck her thumb under the drain stop and got it caught. She ended up with a cut across the top of ther thumb and it peeled back a small thin layer of skin. She only cried for a minute but it bleed enough that it required her first bandaid. She spent the next 30 minutes trying to get the bandaid off she we took it off as soon as the bleeding was over.
