Happy 4th of July

Tanith celebrated her first 4th of July this year!

We had a great afternoon BBQ with the neighbors and Tanith had so much fun playing with the older kids. She wanted to do whatever they were doing and they all took such good care of her. Dorothy's fabulous potato salad, homemade deserts and John's killer margaritas were a hit.  We were not sure how Tanith was going to react with all the fireworks, but once again she amazed us.  She absolutely loved them and kept asking for more. She covered her own ears when she felt it was too noisy and sometimes grabbed my hands and covered them...too adorable.

As you can imagine, I captured a lot of the day in pictures and here are some of my favorites.

Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Tanith's birthday with the family. We had a BBQ, played a little croquet, had some fun with bubbles and of course the playground got a lot of attention. It truly was a beautiful day and Tanith had so much fun playing with everyone. She learned that she can climb up the slide, rather than using the ladder...thank you Matt :) It seemed that she understood that it was all about her today and got super excited when we brought out the gifts and cupcakes.  She got so many nice gifts, a lot of adorable clothes, bubbles and her first golf clubs. Thank you grandma (missed grandpa who was home with a cold), Sheryl, Daryl, Monet, Elyse, Rick, Teresa, Matt, Emily, Mike, Jessica, Ryan and Mathew for making Tanith's birthday so much fun.

Tanith is Two Today


Happy Birthday to our beautiful little girl.  Today Tanith is two years old and we spent the day together as a family and had a nice birthday lunch.  We also had her final post adoption appointment today and it is nice to know that we have finished the adoption process.  We will be celebrating her birthday with family on Sunday, so more pictures to come soon.


Tanith Update:
Weighs in at 27 lbs. and is 34 inches tall.

She now opening doors without any hesitation and is able to peddle her tricycle.  Her new thing is walking backwards and we have no idea why. Daddy took her to get her first hair cut a few weeks shy of her birthday...and she did very well. Tanith is still climbing up on everything and was caught the other day sitting on the kitchen counter eating cookies.  We seriously need to grow eyes on the back of our heads with this little one. 

Happy 2nd Birthday Tanith!
