Happy Birthday, Grady Luke!

Thursday our friend, Grady, turned 1 year old! His birthday party was on Saturday, also. Since we could not make it to Alabama for the party, we celebrated his birthday here in Georgia!

We love you, Grady!

Happy Birthday, Kaiya!

Saturday was our friend, Kaiya's, 1st birthday. It was lots of fun - and the most Asians Sophia has ever seen! :o) It was so great being able to spend that time together and meeting new Aunties! We finally got to meet Baby Kate and Sweetheart Kylie! Sophia also loved meeting Mimi and Papa Kosaka.

Laughing!

Sophia started laughing out loud last night! It is so adorable! I am amazed at everything she does!

Sophia's baptism

Sophia was baptized Sunday, September 14, 2008, by Reverend Anne Elizabeth at St. David's Episcopal Church. She looked adorable, and she was very well behaved during the whole thing. (Mainly because she had been sleeping, and I woke her up right before she was baptized.) Family and friends gathered back at our house afterwards to celebrate. The guest of honor slept through the whole thing! (Click on the slideshow below to view larger slideshow pictures...right, Carrie?! :o))

Sophia's new ride

We got a new, more reliable vehicle. We needed something that had low mileage, and something that was safe for Sophia. We love it, and we go cruisin' all the time!

This posting is also just a huge THANK YOU to my family for always supporting us, giving us advice, believing in us, and most of all, loving us. We love you so much, and we don't know what we'd do without you!

2 Years and Counting...

Today is our 2 year anniversary. Sean took me to a fabulous Italian restaurant on Saturday night for dinner. While we had babysitters, we went grocery shopping. The wild and crazy life of parents!

Visiting with Pops

Pops came to visit this weekend. We had a really good time. He and Keller babysat for us on Saturday night so Sean and I could go out for our 2 year anniversary. They are great babysitters! Pops did a wonderful job, even though he doesn't have any experience with babies as young as Sophia!

So sad to see Pops leave :o(
