Blizzard weather...

Well it has been pretty crazy with all the snow that we've had over the past 24 hours.  I would have loved  a snow day for all this snow.  But oh well.  We measured that we had around 14 inches of snow.  That's a lot of snow to shovel.  Here are some pictures for my parents down in Florida to enjoy (and probably count their blessings that they are not here also.

Our Measurement of 14 inches...

Our house and poor Josh shoveling away... I helped with almost 1/2 then Kaleigha woke up.

Our street from the end of my driveway.  It has been plowed about 4 times by this point of the picture.

My brother's house (just two houses down).  I thought that my mom would enjoy seeing this too.

Kaleigha Pictures:  Kaleigha and I at bedtime.

A couple of weeks ago on our snow day.  She was making a funny face and I look goofy...  but oh well.

Getting ready to go outside a few weeks ago.

Us being silly and putting the clown wig on her.

She enjoys seeing "o'side."

She's ready for Spring and SUMMER!!!!

Me too!

Our little sweet baby is starting to exert "her" will and we are wondering what do we do about a one year old who want's to do what she wants, but isn't necessarily the right thing... She is too cute though :)

I have been reading this guy's blog... very inspiring:  http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/

2008... well, 2007 went really fast! 

Kaleigha is crawling and cruising all over the place.  She is quite the talker and thinks that every bird she sees is a duck; all children and dolls are "baby"; daddy is actually da-da, but I get called dada and ba-da; she says a handful of other words correctly too.  She is still very laid back and just celebrated her first birthday.  She did great opening the presents!  She ripped off the paper, pulled the gift out and said "ooooh" to every single colorful thing.  She did not play in the cake nor even really eat it.  Oh well. 

My parents just moved to Florida for the winter, so I am going to try and update more on here, so they can see little stories and see pictures about Kaleigha. 

Here is Kaleigha was when she was born:

happy girl:

Kaleigha started scooting backwards now, she hasn't quite figured out the crawling thing.  But, that is fine by us.  She is waving, pointing, playing patty-cake and rolling them up.  Still no teeth and just a little bit of hair.  She is still such a good natured little baby, who we adore!  We are so thankful for her and enjoy her everyday.  She has been going to my mom's house everyday while I am at school.  It is not hard sending her there at all.  But starting soon, my mom and dad are going to be traveling and living in Florida - so we have another lady lined up to watch her.  This is where it has been a little bit harder.

Josh and I just started studying the Crown Finicial ministry stuff and we are going to be doing a Bible study in the winter with Crown.  I am really excited about it and learning how to control our spending better so we can pay off my school loans.  People have asked us when we want another baby again... not now!  I have lost all of my pregnancy weight and I am so happy to fit back into my regular clothes.  I just stopped pumping on Monday.  I pumped for 9 1/2 months. 

These are the latest pictures that I have on the computer of her:
