Balluminaria

On Saturday night we went to Mirror Lake in Eden Park to experience Balluminaria. We all bundled up for the cold night and had some warm hot chocolate. The hot air balloons were beautiful against the night's sky. The pictures don't do it justice.

Say Aahhhhh

I have been working on this new trick with Mary since I saw my friends Patty and Justin doing this with their baby girl, Riley! She is pretty funny.

Disco Fever

Mary has all the right moves. She loves Paul Simon!

Bugs Bunny Impersonation

Mary has perfected her Bugs Bunny look with Star Puffs. Hopefully we will not be dealing with this look when her permanent teeth come in. 

Hail Queen Mary

Look Mom-no hands!!

Yummy Treat

Mary has started eating a few finger foods. Graham crackers are pretty yummy and very messy.

Standing tall

Mary is becoming very adventurous. If you notice in the video for about three seconds she decides to let go of the bed and stand on her own. Can someone tell my baby to stop growing up so fast?!!!

Happy Halloween!

We were in Chicago for Halloween and went trick-or-treating with my cousin Rita Jean and her girls, Casserly and Leah. The White's went all out and coordinated according to Mary's costume. Mary was a little pumpkin. I was pumpkin pie and Mike was a pumpkin patch. Mike and I got a few pieces of candy out of the deal so that was an added bonus. 

Mary's Christening

The Godparents

Mary and Great-Aunt Barb

Mary was baptized on October 19th. Aunt Katie and Anthony have taken on the role of godparents. We are happy that they have decided to guide Mary on her spiritual journey. Mary did a great job during the service, saying "AAhhhh" as the holy water was poured over her head. Mary wore the Hyle baptismal gown that has been worn by many of the Hyle grandchildren including myself. Because of the chilly weather my Aunt Barb made her a lovely fleece cape to compliment her outfit. Barb was inspired by the thought that Mary was going to a lamb of God and boy did she fit the part. 

Welcome!

Mary Marie White was born on March 7, 2008. After alot of debating I have decided to join the world of blogging to share Mary's adventures. Check back every week for updates.
