WAY TO GO DAWGS!!!!

Way to go Mississippi State! Winners of the 2007 Liberty bowl 10-3 over UCF.
Most of the game wasn't exciting, but those last 6 minutes were worth waiting for. We had a great time hanging out and tailgating with everyone before the game and a good time watching the game. Ella Catherine watched with Mimi at the house. :)
We will post some pics soon. Happy New Year!

Christmas Fun!

Well, Ella Catherine's first Christmas was GREAT!

We started things off visiting Matt's aunt in Missouri last Saturday the 22nd. Ella Catherine had a ball despite her ear infections. Yes, you read correct, she had her third bout with ear infections and started antibiotics on the 20th. We are glad we started when we did because it didn't affect her at all by Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to church and then out to Grandpa Lynch's house for dinner and presents. In anticipation of our visit, Grams got the play kid's piano out for Ella Catherine to play with. She loved it. She kept looking up at us and grinning as she banged on it. She did VERY well opening gifts. She was very determined to get the packages opened. My boss says she has my personality because I am a very determined person. Some (my husband) may call it stubborn, but I like determined. As anticipated, our little nanny goat enjoyed the paper immensely. We let her play in it a little and I think she ate a little despite our best efforts to get it out of her mouth. I guess a little extra fiber didn't hurt her.

Matt and I are going to the Liberty Bowl tomorrow to cheer on the MSU bulldogs!!! Hope we come out with a victory!!!

Go Ella Catherine Go!

Maybe we will have piano lessons in our future.

She used any means necessary to get the paper off the gifts...her hands, mouth, whichever worked she went with it.

When it was all said and done, this was her favorite part of the day. Playing in the paper and boxes.
