Amberlin's Dedication

On Sunday, March 1st, we dedicated Amberlin's life to the Lord at Lifespring! We chose this day because we had both sets of grandparents here with us, as well as her great-grandparents. It has taken a while to get the pictures up because mine didn't turn out, so I had to wait for some friends to bring me theirs.

It was a beautiful ceremony led by Amberlin's Grandpa, who is also the pastor at Lifespring.

Monday

This Monday we spent the day with Grandpa and he got some really cute shots of Amberlin. Just thought I would share... :)

Memories

I got this from my cousin, Michael, and I think it's a fun idea.

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know us well or if we are acquaintances, but leave a comment about something you remember. Don't send a message, leave a comment on here so that everyone can see it.

Next, re-post this as “memories" in your notes or on your blog.

She has the best smile...

Our baby is smiling!

Sleepy girl...

So many changes happening so quickly. Every day is something new. :)

Grandpa Jerry and Mimi

We had the great blessing of getting a visit from Great-Grandpa Jerry and Mimi (Steff's Grandparents on the O'Brien side). They were able to spend two weeks with us and we SO enjoyed having them here! Amberlin loved both of them and we cherished the time we got with them... we don't get to see them very often since they live in Ohio. Hopefully it won't be long before we get to see them again.

Uncle Jim, Aunt Dotty, Mandy, Tyler and Ryan also visited one day while they were here...

Bottle time

We have started giving Amberlin a bottle per day so that she can begin to adjust before I have to go back to work. She is doing great with it! She started taking it right away and hasn't had any problems with it so far. It has given Andy some very special bonding moments with Amberlin and she is so cute to watch! :)

Our visit with Papa and Gramy

Andy's parents (Gramy and Papa) were able to spend some time with us this past weekend. It was wonderful to have them here. This was the first time they have met Amberlin and she stole their hearts just like she has stolen ours! We had a great time visiting together. Hopefully they will be back soon!
