Happy 2009!

Well, 2008 has gone and 2009 has begun. We are so thankful for everything the past year brought us, the most importantblessing of all being Lucy Cade. We've been in the road the past 2 weeks we've been off. We've been able to spend lots of time with our families, and Doug has gotten in some hunting.... successful hunting I might add. He's killed 3 deer in the past week and a half. Lucy Cade has begun rolling over, jabbering and is grabbing things much better. She loves to talk to you when you're holding her. Evidently we've begun teething as well because she drools constantly. She has also found her feet and they provide many minutes of entertainment. Christmas was fun, as much as it could be with a 5 1/2 month old. She was interested in the sounds the paper made for about 3 minutes. We left most everything unwrapped. She got several baby dolls from family members and loves them. Su-Su (my mom) gave her a book that lights up and sings and she absolutely loves that. The next few months will bring many changes... sitting up, then crawling, then walking. My, how time flies... it's hard to believe it's been almost six months since Lucy Cade was born.
She has begun eating solid foods, beginning with cereal and we've also tried applesauce. I'm going to try some veggies over the weekend. It's back to the grindstone Monday morning. How I dread going back to work!!! Happy new year to all; may God bless you and your family in the months ahead.
