Mary Bishop's First Halloween




Mary Bishop had such a fun first Halloween! She was a "sweet pea"! Thanks Gram for remaking the hat to fit her little pumpkin head! We just loved her little outfit! We had a big time traveling around Tupelo with our good friends Trey, Courtney, and baby Mac. Sorry Katie and Talmadge that we didn't make it over! Our little "sweet pea" was pooped after a few rounds! We did have some cute trick-or-treaters this year! Jake and John Luke Marlin are always a treat! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Boo Boo!!

Bless our little girl's heart! She had her first set of shots Thursday. It hurt me more than it hurt her I'm sure!! I have never felt such pain in my heart over someone crying. It broke my heart to see her in such pain but I know it is for the best! I love you little girl!! Love, Mommy

Tootie's Trip To The Pumpkin Patch!

I know I have not posted anything in a while! Things have been so busy...imagine that!! I just had to post some pics of my "little pumpkin" and her first trip to the pumpkin patch. I know she won't remember it but the pictures are great memories! She was so sweet in her fall pumpkin dress. Happy Fall Y'all!!

Pop's Birthday at Darden!

This past weekend our family got together at Darden. My brother-in-law's family owns a lake house there and we always enjoy spending time there when we can. Since today is my father's birthday, we celebrated it Saturday night out there. Blair and I were a bit anxious to take Mary Bishop because this would be her first night to stay somewhere else besides our house. I guess you could call it her first "mini vacation." So.... we packed every thing but the kitchen sink for this girl. Swing, diapers, clothes, more clothes, more diapers, wipes, etc., etc. Enough for her to be comfortable for a week. Keep in mind we are only staying one night!!! We got there with no troubles. She slept the whole way...but Blair kept saying, "Ben I feel like we are forgetting something." Just the nerves I told her...first time away from the house. Don't worry! But what did we forget....OUR STUFF! No mommy and daddy clothes, toothbrushes, etc.! Boy have our priorities changed! We still had the best time and enjoyed celebrating my dad's birthday. We hope he has many more with these little ones and we hope he knows just how much he is loved! He has waited a long time to become a "Pops" and we think he's the best!! We love you dad!

One Month...My How Time Flies!

Good grief how time flies! It has been an interesting and very eventful month at the Curtis household. I am enjoying being a mommy even more than I expected. No lie, it has been tough, but so very worth it. I can't even begin to tell you how blessed Ben and I have been with all of the help and support of our friends and family. I don't even know where to begin on the "Thank You's". From Granna and Gram, Pop and Pops, Je-Je and Uncle Z, Aunt Cysha, AT and Nannie, to all of our small group friends and co-workers, we owe you some major "Thanks!!". All of the long nights that turned into mornings, the wonderful food, and the reassurance that we are doing something right and we are good parents is greatly appreciated. I'm a little sad that time flies like it does but I hear it only gets better. Mary Bishop is growing in so many ways. Her cries are so different, she grins..and it's not always gas! She has a million faces, is working on taking a "paci" and a bottle from her daddy, makes the sweetest sounds, shows us her beautiful eyes a lot more, and is sleeping fairly well. If only we could get rid of those terrible gas pains!! I've tried Mylicon but that seems to work only for a short bit. We will eventually get it under control. It just kills my soul to see her in pain. Overall, it has been the best month of our lives...WE ARE SO BLESSED!
