Christmas Angel

We went to the train park one sunny afternoon for some sweet pictures of Marin in her Christmas dress.

 She loves to throw leaves over the bridge and watch them come through to the other side.

Catching up once again!

Geez!  I'm so far behind on this blog!!  I'm going back to try to catch up to where we are now.  So, I have to go all the way back to Christmas.  Christmas with a child is so much fun!  There are so many fun things to do, and it really puts you in the Christmas spirit.  I love seeing her experience all the joys of the season.  Here are some pictures from the Homewood Christmas parade.

Then I met Mom in Chattanooga for a fun weekend getaway.  We took Marin on a North Pole train ride to meet Santa!  She loved every bit of it.  She was excited to show Santa that she had a Santa on her dress.  Of course she loved the gingerbread cookie too!  We had a great time sharing a hotel room together.  There was lots of jumping on the bed and fun memories!  The next day I took her to the aquarium before heading home.

Go Irish

I have so many fun memories growing up watching Notre Dame football with my Dad.  When I was given the opportunity to go to their final home game of their undefeated season this year, I knew I had to go!  So Mark and I headed up to South Bend, and my Uncle Chuck took us on a tour of campus.  It's such a beautiful and unique place!  I could just see my Dad doing the jig as I heard the band play.  The game was fun (but cold) and they finished their season with a shut out against Wake Forest.  We went out to eat with some family and spent the night at my Uncle Ed's house.  The next day we met some more family for lunch and then headed back to campus before flying back home.  We were fortunate to get on the field and take a few pictures.
