Smiling at Daddy

Your Daddy is being a goof.....but we still love him!

First visit to Church

Today was your first visit to Church. You liked it a whole lot....you snored the entire time!! Literally.....when the preacher prayed, everyone turned to look at you!

Sweet Angel

Mommy loves to watch you sleep!

Smile!

Dori,
As you and everyone else knows by now........we just love to take pictures of you. You are growing too fast.

Party time!

Dori,

Since your arrival we have been pretty busy doing all kinds of things. You have been great no matter where we go. As you can see in the pictures, you went to your first birthday party. Your cousin, Lindsey, had her party at Pump It Up. You and Daddy went down the slide and you liked it!

Little feet????

Dori,

I kid everyone about you getting all of your "big parts" from Mommy....including your BIG FEET!

Game Day

Your Daddy...what more can I say!

Your Daddy simply loves taking pictures of you!

Meeting more family

Dori,

A couple of weeks ago you finally got to meet your cousin, Austin, Aunt Benita, and Grandma Carol. They all loved you, especially Austin. He had just gotten home from school and thought it was a nice treat to see you.

I love you.

Dori,

I sit here with you sleeping on my chest and think about life. It is amazing how I love your Daddy so much and still have so much love for you. The longer you are in our lives, the harder it is for me to understand how so many parents don't feel the same love for their children that we have for you.
I know I have posted this before, but I can't say it enough. When you grow up, Daddy and I want you to read this blog and understand how we wanted you in our lives so very bad. Also, I want you to always know...no matter if you agree with us on things when you are older or not....we will always love you and will always be there for you during the good times and the bad times. We never want to let you down. We want to be the people that you come to first with all of your problems. We know that nobody is perfect and therefore, we will support you no matter what. We will always listen to you and hear what you have to say. I could go on and on about life, but the thing is the gloworm....you will have to live your own life and have your own experiences to truly know how to live.
I am just rambling on and on, but the idea of the post is that I LOVE YOU!
love,
Mommy

Four Weeks

Dori,

You have been in this big world four weeks today! Your Daddy and I love you more than I can put into words. Not only are you loved by us, but so many others too. I am going to post the pictures of your first photo shoot. You were not even two weeks old when they were taken. You have grown so much. Daddy tells you every day that he wants to put you in a small fish bowl, like a gold fish, so you will not get big!

I love you,

Mommy
