and find her new train table!

Sophie and baby meet for the first time on Christmas morning... it was love at first sight!
Sophie spent Christmas day with one of mommy's high school friends that lives in Winchester. Sophie was awestruck by little Kendall.

This is the two of us at the Children's museum in Winchester. They have a bunch of little ramps that the kids can roll golf balls down and this is Sophie taking a turn on the long one.

Sophie was really proud of herself for that one!

Sophie smiling for the picture we'll send with our Christmas cards.

This one didn't make it into the cards!

What a cutie!

We took Sophie to the Children's museum in

Winchester and by the look on her face, she enjoyed it!

Sophie was a ladybug for Halloween this year. At one of the parties we attended, a dad came with his camera and took pictures of all of the kids. Sophie was a little shy, so I gave her a bug hug.

Sophie was also a sheep for Halloween this year.

Sophie and the family went to 'Great Country Farms' in Bluemont and she loved climbing on the picnic tables.

We're Back!!

About a month ago we took Sophie to the mall on an afternoon when it was raining and she had a blast playing on the mall playground. I think Dave had a lot of fun too!












She is so going to drive a truck when she gets older.














If you pay $1 you can get a grown man in a conductor's outfit to drive you around the mall. I love this town!

Sophie's absolute FAVORITE weekend activity is mowing the lawn with David!










I just said to dave today that it was nice that for a couple of months she was a "momma's girl" because there is no doubt now that she is a "daddy's girl"

Sophie made fingerpaint thank you cards (with a little bit of help from me) for the kids in the playgroup who gave her gifts!

Sophie says "I turned 1!"














She was a little hesitant to go right in for the cake until she realized that she was allowed to!









She didn't even use her hands at first - she just went face first! I made her the cream cheese frosting that she has already tasted from her father's favorite carrot cake.

Sophie had a little playdate with her friend Jenna while she was getting over her ear infection. They love to give hugs and kisses to each other, but half of the time they end up knocking each other over!






They are too cute!

Sophie has finally learned how to use her sippy cup all by herself. Who would have known that all you have to do is put some watered down O.J. in it?
