Happy 20th Birthday, Pookie-Critter!

(Don't ask where I came up with her nickname...cause I don't even know, but it stuck!

Already...

...into mischief!! (Wonder who she gets that from? Must be the Grissom side!!!) :)

God's Promises Are Sweet

It's time for a new theme in Jr Church! Amy, Karen, Rachel, Wesley and I were surrounded with lots of sweets tonight as we set up the new decorations! The best part about them was that they were calorie free! :)

The giant cupcake surrounded by lots of goodies! Hopefully we don't come back on Sunday and find that they've all fallen down!

6 Months

Wow! Time sure has went fast! I can't believe Arilynn's already half-way to her first birthday!!! She is a BUSYBODY!!!!!! She is so nosy...she watches everyone and listens just like she knows what they're talking about. She's super wiggly, especially in church!!! (I barely got a picture of her today)! She'll smile at just about anyone (except Jonathan Walden). :) (That big ole meanie made her cry the other day! Not sure what her problem was).

She loves to eat her food, but sometimes after taking a bite she tries to suck her thumb. Therefore, you have to be super coordinated in holding both hands down, plus the food, and feeding her!

She loves to laugh & squeal! She's grabbing just about everything-noses, glasses, hair. She loves the children at church and kicks her feet when she sees them. She also loves to look at books!We go tomorrow for her 6 month check-up. I'm anxious to see how long she is!

The Dress

(She's not smiling because she's too busy studying the camera).

Dedication

Today was a very special day for us as parents. We had already given Arilynn to God from the time she was still in the womb, but today we showed that publicly, to our family and to our church. It was a very special service and Bro. Shockley did a tremendous job in charging us.With Bro & Sis Shockley

A big thanks goes to my wonderful Mother for making this adorable dress! (The best part was the length helped hide my flab...:-D) Also, another big thanks for our family coming and making this day extra special!!! She doesn't remember you being here, but it meant the world to us! (Even if we did have to share chairs to eat lunch! HA!)
