Melissa has been with us for 9 months and we are amazed in how she is blossoming as a healthy and happy little girl. She makes us laugh and fills our hearts with joy.

Melissa knows Jesus and prays with us each nite and then closes with "Nite Nite Jesus." She is a precious gift.







Melissa loves smelling the flowers.













Blowing bubbles is so much fun.












"Hey mom, I'm ready to go shopping."
She'll pose for a picture just about anytime...well almost anytime.

Melissa wearing her gardening hat....how cool!




This picture was taken on her gymboree class, where she loves to chase the beach ball.





This baby is part of the surprise gift

Spaghetti dinners are so much fun, especially when I get to smear the sauce all over your face.

Don't you think we look alike...well almost.


Melissa's first train ride on the Metro Goldline from Pasadena to Union Station with grandpa, daddy and mommy. She loved it.

"Mommy, how do you like my new hairdo? "













One of our classic photos of Melissa where she was calling Grandpa Raney and the photographer got the perfect shot.
