1 Year

This time last year I was lying in a hospital bed for the first time in my life holding our precious daughter in my arms wondering what her future would be like. It's already been a year and it's so neat to watch her grow and form her own personality. She is like her Mommy is some regard because you can usually read her emotions just by the look on her face. Not only does she look like her Daddy, but she got his thrill of adventure and love for the outdoors. We are truly blessed!

(Thank you to Aunt Randa and Mommaw for her birthday outfit) Wha choo talkin' bout Gommy? Grammy Groff kept winking at Emily tonight and out of the blue she tried to start winking herself. I definitely missed the best pictures of the face, but here's one attempt.

The Bottle

After many weeks of working with Emily she decided she could hold the bottle. Our good friends the Travis' came over for dinner one night this past week and wouldn't you know it Andi puts Emily's hands on the bottle and she held it like a pro.

Camping in Kentucky

This was our first family camping trip. On Friday, July 27th the Groff's, Marshall's and Clay's packed up all the gear and hit the road. With three stops it took about 6 hours to get to Corbin, KY. This was a mini family reunion to see our cousins that came up from North Carolina. We had such a good time visiting that we decided we would get together at another location again next year. Below are some pictures of the campsite, fun at the pool at our cousins hotel and Cumberland Falls.
