Marissa walking again

Another video of our princess taking steps.

Thank you note from Natalie

So I wanted to make a little thank you note from myself (Natalie) to ALL of you. I was talking with a friend in the DSAJ and she reminded me that we should thank those in our lives that have made a difference, so here is my thank you.

I wanted to thank EVERYONE in Zach's family, for being here and supporting me. I know I may be hard to handle at times, but I really appreciate all that you have done for me. Thank you for letting me join your family, accepting me into your lives and homes, supporting me as a parent and wife, and for helping in times of need. I understand this may seem weird to thank you for these simple things; however, I have grown up most my life without a true family and its nice to know that I have all of you now.

I know that I still have some family members of my own, but its nice to have you all too. Jacqueline, of all people I would like to thank you the most. You have taken me under your wing, like I was your own daughter. You have shown me that even though I have made mistakes, I am still a great mother and Woman. Its nice to know that I can count on you to answer your phone or call back when I just need to talk. I love you very much and for what you have done, I will always be grateful.

Again thank you all for your support and love. I love each and every one of you very much and I look forward to many many years with the family!!!

Baby Shower

So as most of you may already know, we are expecting our second little princess in March 2010.

With this being said, we are preparing for our little angel by having our baby shower in Florida on the 23rd of January (this month).

If anyone is interested in helping out or getting baby shower gifts, we are registered at Babie R Us...in the store and online. To look us up you can go online and hit baby registry, then find a registry, enter the last name, first name, Jacksonville, and Florida. This will bring up the registry for you to look at.

Even though we are registered here, anything is well appreciated to help prepare for our second little miracle.

Thank you all in advance for your support in helping bring little miss Emma Pie into the world.

She is finally doing it

Marissa is finally taking steps. She has taken a step at a time within the last month or so and as of 2 nights ago, she took 3 steps at a time.

Then tonight, when she was really excited from watching Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, she took 3 steps, 2 steps, and a whole bunch of 1 step at a time...adding up to about 10 steps total.

Can you believe our princess is almost ready to walk on her own...this is super exciting and we are so proud of her!!!

Our babygirl is growing up
