16 Months


Calleigh girl, oh how you keep me on my toes! You don't sit still for longer than a minute! You have to be moving at all times... a busy busy girl :) You are learning so much, so fast... and have started asking me, "Mommy, what's that?" quite often. You have also continued to let me know when you go potty... which I am amazed at. You are one sharp cookie for your age! You are also very goofy... you like to be silly and make people laugh. You spin in circles until you get dizzy and fall down and then just giggle :) You have such a sweet sweet spirit. At random moments throughout the day you will run up and and give me a big kiss... completely melts my heart. We are so thankful for you and all the joy you bring to our lives. We don't know what we'd do without you! Love you baby girl! Happy 16 Months!

This month Travis and I began our second IVF cycle (we didn't have any embryos to freeze from the first cycle). We have prayed and prayed for a sibling for Calleigh, and are hoping that God will perform another miracle and grant us our desire for another baby! Please join us in praying for another successful IVF cycle and for another bundle of joy to bless our little family!

Family Vacation

At the end of June we loaded up the Tahoe and a U-haul and headed east to Destin, Florida! It was our first family vacation (dogs included!) and we LOVED it! We were already making plans for next year before our vacation was even over :) We enjoyed spending the week with our family and playing at the beach. As I figured, Calleigh is going to have the same love for the sand and the ocean as her mommy and daddy!


Of course the toes were painted :)
East bound and down... already having fun!
