Giving Kisses...

I got this video of Myla giving kisses to her stuffed hippo the other morning when we were playing in her room. She loves to give kisses...mouth wide open, no less! Too sweet!

Goethie Wedding

Michael and I had the privilege to be a part of some dear friend's wedding this weekend. We have gotten to be friends with Lanier and Keonna over the past year or so. The start of the friendship actually came from a very unfortunate situation. Let me explain...last year Lanier was involved in a severe motorcylce accident in which he badly damaged his knee. Michael did his therapy for several months before and after surgery, and during that time we got to be friends with him and Keonna. They got engaged during this time, and Lanier was kind enough to ask Michael to be a groomsman in his wedding. We are SO excited they are finally married! The wedding was beautiful, and the weather even held off so they could have the outside wedding that they wanted! They are a precious, Godly couple, and we pray that God blesses their marriage beyond all they can ask or imagine.

Congratulations, Lanier and Keonna!!

We love you and can't wait for y'all to get home!!

The Newlyweds!!

Mr. & Mrs. Lanier Goethie

Visit from Aunt Maggie

We were so excited last week to have my sister come visit for a couple of days. Myla was so excited to see her and play with her. And play they did! Maggie was such a great entertainer, and Myla enjoyed her company so much! We also loved having her here because we don't get to see her that much. I was not very good taking pictures while she was here, which is unlike me, but I did get a few...especially of them reading...one of Myla's favorite pasttimes. Maggie also had Myla hysterical blowing bubbles at her while she was in the bathtub. The last picture is a Cracker Barrell in the Ole Miss rocking chair.

Reading with Daddy...

As I have mentioned many times before, Myla loves her books. She is really starting to understand that they are for reading. She loves it when we read to her. I took these pictures the other night of Michael and Myla sharing a book, and I thought they were too cute, so I thought I would share. Please excuse the diaper baby...she had messed up her outfit, and it was almost bath time!

Need Advice from Mothers.....

Okay, I thought Myla was getting to be a better eater, but I spoke too soon. I am at an awkward stage where she doesn't want baby food, but I can't find a lot of table food that she likes either. Right now, she basically eats her bottle, puffs, rice rusks, 1 jar of baby food fruit in the morning, and sometimes meat sticks. She isn't crazy about table food veggies. I am worried that when she turns one and isn't taking her bottle anymore, where will she get her nutrients? Any suggestions on what your kids liked at this stage? Please leave a comment of email me at meredithmeurrier@yahoo.com. Many thanks!!

BRING IT.....

I just wanted to send a "Good Job" to my new workout partners Susan and Ethan! We started the exercise program P90X this morning at 5:00 a.m. We made it through the first day....one down, eighty nine to go! Good job, and I will see you two bright and early in the morning!!!

My Little "Helper"...

I was inspired by my neighbor, Susan, yesterday after I watched her clean out Haley's drawers. I decided that it was probably a good time to do that for Myla. I had a drawer out on the floor when Myla came in and decided to "help" me. She loves to pick things up and just throw them, as you can tell from the clothes behind her. I guess she thought the drawer would be a good things to play in. I decided that this might be a good idea to remember if she was fussy one day, and I needed something to do to entertain her!!!
