I know that my Auntie Lauren is going to be my style guru as I grow up!!

My Auntie Anna and cousins Katie and Avery visited me from North Carolina. I can't wait until I'm older and can dress up like a fairy princess.

Mommy finally took me to get pictures done, I'm so cute, I can't stand it!!

How adorable am I in my froggie towel?!?

March 13, 2007 -- Welcome to the world, Peyton!!

After 1 1/2 hours of pushing, Peyton made her debut at 1:23 pm weighing 7 lbs. 10.9 oz. and 19 1/4 inches.

We are now officially mommy and daddy!!

1 Week Past the Due Date

March 12, 2007: Ah, to be 41 weeks pregnant again. I'm surprised I was still smiling...

We were on our way to my 41 week checkup knowing that there was a possibility of being admitted after my appointment, so the car was loaded up.

It turned out they scheduled me to be induced that night, so after the appointment Greg and I went to lunch and came home. It was a strange feeling knowing that we were going to the hospital later and coming home with a baby :-)

A look back at the the year of a less chaotic (but certainly not as entertaining) life before Peyton...

Mom, Anna, and I went on another girls trip (we did one several years back to Paris) to New York City in September 2006. And yes, I was still feeling my now 3 months of pregnancy....









We went to San Pancho, Mexico with our friends, Jen and Josh in August 2006 --Yes, we went to Mexico in August, and yes, I was 2 months pregnant and feeling every minute of it!!












There was a sea turtle protection organization that digs up the sea turtle eggs (to protect them from poachers), hatches them and then releases them to the ocean. We got to see that the first day there. The video is posted at the end, it was really fun to see them head toward the ocean!

God Bless the USA! Pearl Harbor 2006







I liked the Luau, you get to wear flowers on your head and not feel silly.

We had such a great time on vacation with Nat and Ben! Hawaii 2006


I'm hoping this isn't the last time I get to sit in the sun on the beach drinking a Corona!! Hawaii, May 2006
