Saturday fun

Lots of new faces, not sure where they come from but they sure are funny. Grandma Cherie came up for the morning and Jay and I hit the slopes. They had lots of fun while we were gone!

Hang in there..

I am trying to solve some camera issues, this is why I haven't posted, I have been borrowing shots from Grandma Cheries camera, and we haven't seen her since turkey day, so no pictures. I think my all-time favorite camera has died...I will either buy a new one or see if it is fixable asap. I'm not holding out, I am going through photo withdrawal myself!

Hanging with Juice

Merrick got to hang out with her Uncle Justin from California. (a.k.a Juice) We spent Thanksgiving day in Denver with the Neerhof clan. Big dinner with Merrick providing all the entertainment. Never a dull moment thats for sure.

Birthday Party

Couple of shots from her party. It was pretty crazy. Lots of family and friends. Merrick was cutting teeth and not super happy, but she did really well considering. I tried to give her some cake and she didn't want anything to do with it. Maybe keeping her off of sugar will be easier than I thought.

Birthday sunrise

I can't get a decent picture of the peanut today. She is cutting two teeth for her birthday. We did wake up to an amazing sunrise though. Party tomorrow and my Mom made it! Wishing Grandpa and Grandma Corcoran could be here to make it complete, maybe next year!

Working on my walking skills...

Merrick is walking behind her little car, she started letting go and balancing. I tried catching it on the video, the footage below is not her best performance, but you get the idea. She is on her way! Looking forward to her birthday next week!

Looky, no hands!

Fun in the sun

We spent the afternoon in Denver on Sunday at the park with Grandma and Grandpa Neerhof. It is hard to believe it is November. These pictures are from Grandma Cherie, my camera is not magic, she looks beautiful no matter who takes the shots.

daycare morning drop-off

This was the peanut this morning. She loves her daycare. I end up hanging out there in the morning with her for at least 30 minutes everyday. She is so amazing. This was taken with my camera phone, she kept peeking at me through the colored plastic. I tried to get her smooshing her nose against it, but I missed.

Happy Halloween!

I couldn't pass the puppy suit by! Maybe its because every year until I was five, I was some sort of canine for halloween. Snoopy, Scooby-doo, Chewbacca. (I thought he was a dog for the longest time) A costume in a box. I still remember that sweet smell from the plastic mask I got to wear.

We headed to the daycare pizza costume party tonight, then downtown to see Marty and his dog Woods. Good times! Have a great Halloween! Hand out apples!

Park day

Yesterday was really warm so we took Merrick to the park. She loved the swing and she loved spending time with her Daddy.

Pretty girl

I don't really need to write anything, do I?

Just having fun.

Sledding peanut

We took Merrick out for a winter adventure on Sunday. We couldn't stay out long because of wind and cold temperatures, but she loved it.

Fall Harvest

You have to love the mountains. Where else can you have a hay ride one day, and the very next a foot of snow? I think I see a sled in our future.

Snow day

We received a foot of snow over the weekend. You should of seen how big Merricks eyes were. Her whole landscape around her changed and it was really cool to watch her taking it all in. Grandma K is going to be o.k. A lot of healing ahead, but we are so happy, and relieved. I know that my Mom would want to see yet another cute picture of Merrick up here, so this one is for her. (And the rest of you, of course!)
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, now my next hope is that my Mom will be able to travel out for the peanuts 1st birthday....I'm not giving up on that one yet!

Thanks!

I really didn't want to use the little peanuts blog for this issue with my Mom, but I know lots of people check in, lots of people know my Mom, and I want to get lots of positive thoughts and prayers headed my Moms way. I appreciate it so much...she is doing well, please keep the other people involved in this accident in mind as well, I hope everyone recovers from this.

Grandma K

Please keep my Mom in your thoughts and prayers..she was in a bad car accident today, and is in emergency surgery right now. Any positive energy will help for sure. Thanks.

Pajama party

I couldn't resist the bedhead or her little smile. She is sitting up in her crib every morning and she even pulled herself up to a stand last night. Crusing now! She seems to get cuter overnight.

Merrick has her very own Backyardigan...

This big girl made herself at home on the patio where we live. Pretty cool, Merrick smiled at her through the window. (When doesn't she smile?!)

Merrick is wearing my baptism gown in this shot...don't worry Mom, a copy of it is already in the mail!

Last days of fall

Yesterday may have been our last fall hike, woke up to a dusting of snow down low, can't say that we mind it. Life is good, Merrick is amazing.

More peeks. (Usually they are double handed)

Merrick is all about the peek-a-boo, sometimes with her hands, sometimes with toys. Not her best performance, everytime there is one of those, the camera goes on, and she is over doing it. (The microphone on my camera is SHOT, I apologize for any bad sound)

Two beautiful things

My little sweet pea

Merrick turned 10 months old yesterday. I can't believe we have made it this far! The peanut is doing really well.

Fun weekend

Grandma and Grandpa Neerhof came up to the mountains on Sunday to check out some of Jays work on the parade of homes. We had some good park time and an awesome dinner before they headed home. Still busy with work, but can feel the end is near..hearing about chances of snow.

Michigan trip

Straight off the plane Mj was in a pool at Grandpa and Grandma Corcorans. A few days later she took her first dip in Lake Leelanau at the sandbar, then to wrap things up , she took her first train ride with Grandma K...busy, busy girl! She also cut 4 more teeth while she was there. (The count is now at 6!) Working on crawling, we will keep you posted!
