Ms. Jackie

Today, Ms. Jackie lost her battle to lung cancer. She was a very kind lady who was very loving and generous to our little Molly. She sent her the sweetest outfits, books, toys and cards.
I am so glad she and Joe made the trip from Ohio last year to meet Molly. She, grandpa Joe and her family are in our thoughts.

Zoo Day

Nathan and Annie joined Molly and I on our trip to the Zoo. We had a great time, although molly was unsure about the merry-go-round.

Annie turns 4

Annie turned 4 today, we had family dinner and cake. Molly was loving the cake. :) I also included pictures from her school party.

20 months

Sweet little Molly is just growing, learning and coming into her own. She is such an amazing little creature.
Here are some of her accomplishments~
She now counts to 10, and says yeah to signify her finale... too cute
*loves to sing, Yellow submarine, Take me out to the ball game, doe a deer, twinkle twinkle, thumb kin, muffin man and patty cake.
*calls us jenny mama and joey daddy...we call her molly baby.
* really good at her alphabet, usually gets 8 or 9 letter in a row right then muddles it a bit.
*she is such a Rhea, she loves to play with her balls,(that sounds funny?!) and has a heck of an arm on her.
* loves to jump, hop and dance.

Molly really is her own person. I just love these pictures that Carina took. The one of molly walking away really captures the essence of Molly. She walks away with the dismissive and dainty hand posturing. As if to say, "Yes, I heard you. Thanks for your opinion on what we should be doing, but I'm going this way instead." That is Molly. :)

Daddy's new job....

I am so thankful that Joe see's the value in me being a stay at home mom. We really feel like Molly is thriving, and she is *so* happy.
As you all know Joe is a public speaker, but unfortunately many collages no longer have a budget to bring him in, so Joe went and got a job.
This job seems perfect for him, the owner told Joe that if he does have a chance to speak, he can. That is awesome. Joe is working for www.kcfreepress.com he sales internet ads, so if you know anyone that wants to advertise let us know.
Molly is adjusting to her daddy's new job outside of the home. She really is love bug, and wants to give daddy lots of snuggles before he heads off to work. We always stand at the door and wave goodbye. Through out the day molly says, "daddy, work." Thanks daddy~
