Annya Almost 16 months!!!! & What an attitude!!!

An Update and A Peek Into the Past!

I know that you are all wondering if we dropped off the earth. We have not and here I am to update you! Wow, what a year 2008 has been! I am so overwhelmed by the grace that God has poured into our lives and the blessings that He has showered us with!!!

We are so excited to share that Tim's last day at Dynamic Aviation is tomorrow! As of Friday, February 27th, we are working our photography business that God has given us full-time! We are so excited to see what God has in store for us this year! Anyway, that's what's been going on and keeping me from my duties of updating!!! :) I'm back I promise! :)

I don't have any new images of Annya to share yet but will get some for you soon! So I thought that it would be fun to see her from the beginning! I pulled a few shots that were on the blog last year & here ya go! :)

Six months old hiking on Skyline Drive

She's only a day old in the above picture...I still can't believe all that was inside me! Yikes, we really have been wonderfully made!

These are around 4 months old...

And this was just before her first birthday! Our angel! Look at those eye's! What a blessed man who will win her heart and be able to get lost in those eye's...wow, listen to me...I still have a little while...but it's going so fast.

We love you all and promise to give you recent pics soon!

Spoiled Yogurt Mess

Here's some pics from a mess I caught Annya making. She got a cup of yogurt off the table that to me disgrace had been sitting out for a day & a half. It was a bit spoiled to say the least. Annya managed to get the cup and spill it all over the place.

She was very pleased with herself!

While I decide to laugh instead of cry...I saw the card which she had pulled out of the drawers & dipped in the yogurt cup...which said a friend loves at all times & so does a mommy! It was a tough day as but it was a great reminder to love always & enjoy the memories that yes, even messes on a bad day can make! We are all messes and yet Christ redeems us day in and day out & never holds it against us or refuses to clean us up after a mess!

Brush'n her teath!!

Annya loves to brush her teeth! Every time we walk into the bathroom she points to the sink and in her words so kindly asks to "Brush Teeth" sounds like. eheheh...we're working on it. She can say baby...bebe...it's precious!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I'm so sorry that i didn't get cards out to all of you! So here's Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to each one of you! We love you all! I had to show you all Annya's Christmas dress from Great Grandma & Grandpa Friedrich in Ohio! Thank you Annya looked adorable in her little dress!
