Lilypie Waiting to Adopt tickers

January 2, 2010


Happy happy New Year to all! and new decade ... my resolution: to update our blog on a weekly basis or monthly at the very least! but as you can see, I am already a tad late on starting the resolution! YIKES time has slipped away. Paige just turned seven months old on the 22nd! She is rolling, just starting to do the army crawl,but the girl loves WALKING (with assisstance of course) ... Paige is happiest when she has fingers to hang on to while she does laps around the house. Our backs are killing us!

We had wonderful Christmas visit to Riverview - it was everyone's first time meeting Paige (with the exception of Nannie, Poppie and cousin Alison!) She loved her cousins Justin and Jonah and I think they are rather fond of her too. Paige didn't care too much about her presents but had a blast trying to eat the gift wrap! Had we known, we would have forgone the gifts and bought her a roll of wrapping paper for Christmas!

I was just reading my dear friend Sarah's blog and she listed her highlights of the decade and that got me thinking about a fw of mine ...
2000 On a whim I decided to move to NC - actually the above mentioned Sarah was supposed to join me but at the last minute chose to go to Sweden instead ...lucky for me she did, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in Rocky Mount ...
2001 I met Mickey: we were introduced through a mutual friend (yippee for Mormon ex-girlfriends!...another story for another time)
2002 We got married in Clayton, NC - I was so surprised and touched by the family and friends who travelled so far to share our wonderful day! Best wedding ever, I say!
2003 We bought our house! and adopted our sweet Chewy-Dog from the Wake County Animal Shelter.
2004
2005
2006 We started the process to adopt who we thought would be our first child
2007
2008 A bittersweet year: we heard the words we had never expected to hear, "You are pregnant!" It was a bittersweet moment as we had to let go of the baby we thought would be ours ... now we know our child was just not ready for us yet.
2009 A little piece of heaven landed in our lives - Paige Elizabeth was born June 22.
2101 Can't wait to see what is in store!

I best post some photos - I know that is what you are here for:
