six shining months!!!

unbelievable! our bundle 'o' joy is half a year old! isn't it crazy how fast time flies yet i cant quite remember what life was like before her...our family has had quite a hard week. my dear pop passed away early monday morning. (explains my hat pulled down to cover my puffy eyes). my grandpa was without of doubt one of the most amazing men this world has seen...after 5 months of being critically ill he's no longer suffering..with jesus...sipping on his favorite peach milkshakes. i could go on and on but i'll save it for another "post." right now im celebrating the best 6 months of sweet memories, sleep deprivation, laughter, spit-up, blowouts, babies r us trips, stroller rides, and hairbows. i know we probably shouldn't subject our dear child to politics, especially during one of the most controversial elections ever...but my hubby and i choose the "mama" over obama. my fabulous auntie julo sent liv this embroidered "palin power" onesie. SARAH was actually in indianapolis today..i had reserved tickets but to make a long story short... since we were out of town all week, apparently they let more people rsvp than they had tickets for. i was so disappointed but still dressed our lil firecracker in honor of the occasion. dutch's sister, sister-n-law and niece got here to indy late last night and we took them downtown. yes, our daughter is sitting on a canon. in the civil war musuem. what a way to celebrate, huh?
