Our First Mother's Day!

Hi all,

Well, we have celebrated our first Mother's Day as Mom and Daughter, and it was all that I hoped it would be. We visited Gram for lunch, and then spent the day at the farm....always a GREAT time. We were able to see Jason's Mom last night, and hope to see her tomorrow. She loved her scrapbook, and it is a work in progress, so it is definitely going to grow!

Of course, Jason's presence was SORELY missed - as it is every day, but honestly, I feel like every day is Mother's Day - I am so blessed to have this precious little girl as my own!!!!!!

Not sure if I told you that CAITLIN IS A CANADIAN!!!!! We received her citizenship last month! Last hurdle prior to the 12 month SW visit!!!!

Now that the weather is nicer, we are spending SO much time outside - Caitlin loves to play outside! She has a sandbox, slide, wagon, and other assorted toys in the back yard, so that keeps her quite busy! She loves to help her Mommy as well - raking, etc.

Hope all is well, and happy MD to all - I will post pics later.
XOXO

April 2007

Hi all,

I am really going to try to post here more often.....I hear every once in a while that someone has checked to see if there are any updates.....

April was a fairly good month...Caitlin is really starting to talk up a storm. She labels EVERYTHING, and wants to know the names of new things when she encounters them. I know that some of her words are only recognizable to me, and Grammie, but we still think that she is a genius!

Easter was fun - church, of course - the sermon was wonderful. I am really getting a lot out of it, and beginning to realize that there must be a reason that Jason was taken from us, and we will discover what that is some day. We also had an easter egg hunt at Auntie Jen's - pics attached!

We were at Grammie and Grampie's on Good Friday with Uncle Cam, Aunt Lucie, Neil and Melissa - good fun, as always!

We were able to spend a week at Grammie and Grampie's after Grammie's knee replacement (finally)! - she is doing great, by the way! Caitlin and I spent a lot of time outside - she would rather be outside, even in the rain!

What we initially called "snaggletooth" has turned into a molar, and 3 others have joined it, along with 2 eye teeth in the last 6 weeks - quite a few sleepless nights for Mommy!!!!

Time is passing too quickly - in no time, I will have to go back to work, and she will continue to grow up - before I know it, she will be in school!

I am still trying to scrapbook my darling daughter - time can be an issue, but it is important to me.

Hope all is well with everyone!

Marie and Caitlin XOXO
