Happy First Birthday Marian!

One year ago today, this little darling came in to our lives. What a blessing she’s been to everyone lucky enough to know her!

Helping Granddad return a few phone calls

These pictures speak for themselves. These two became pretty tight during the Christmas visit.

Granddad is distracted, now’s my chance to escape.

The Red Wagon

Tuesday, December 9 –

The weather’s been so fine and Marian enjoys being outside, so we’ve been giving her rides in the kid’s old wagon. The door is off, and the seats are cracked or missing, but with a few pillows, it’s perfect for Marian…and Coconut (who doesn’t miss a chance to ride).

Figuring Out Christmas

Marian’s first Christmas gift was an ornament from great Aunt Debra and great Uncle Chris Shannon. We filmed her as she opened it.

 

Bath Time

Is there anything sweeter than this?

The Center of Attention

Monday, December 1 –

It could be because we haven’t seen her in so long…or perhaps because she’s the cutest baby ever…or maybe it’s on account of her being the first grand baby…whatever the reason, she’s enjoying it and so are we!

Marian’s Photo Shoot

Atlanta took some darling shots of Marian on one of the vintage-style photo prop metal beds that they make and sell. You may have seen them on facebook already, but I thought they were worth re-posting here. If you’d like to see more of their items, shop here.
