Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day this year was quite special as three very special women were at my house: my beautiful wife, daughter, and mother. I'm proud to say that they all awoke to flowers. Here's a pic of Audrey showing off her rose. It was a great day as my perfect wife and I actually got to go on a date to Brennan's for a romantic dinner.

Make My Day

Audrey dares anyone to defy her cuteness.

New Coat

Another beautiful day and Audrey whimpered all day long to try to get outside. This is her in her new coat. She did have an accident and fell down the steps in the back. Her beautiful face got kind of scraped up a little, but she was okay.

It's my party

Audrey wants to say thank you to everyone that came to her party. She really appreciates all the gifts and most of all your presence. Shannon made a wonderful lunch for everyone and Audrey loved seeing all of her baby friends (Isa, Macy, Ollie, Elie, Henry). The party was a double Audrey birthday celebration as Audrey's great grandmother, Audrey, also had a birthday. One of her other great grandmothers, Shirley Shannon, had a birthday the day before. Thanks to everyone for their help with Audrey this past year. It's been such a blessing to have such a great support from family and friends.

Great Weather

We are still having great weather in Houston and Audrey loves to be outside. When we finally got her to come back inside, she dumped her milk all over herself.

1st Birthday

Today is Audrey's first birthday! What a great year it's been (by far the best of our lives). Shannon and I could have never envisioned all the joy that a little girl could bring into our home. People always want to know if I can believe that she's a year old. Well, it's a complicated question to answer. It seems like forever ago that we brought her home from the hospital, but as we look back on pictures it's hard to believe that she's grown up so fast and it's exciting to think of all the great things she'll do in her life. God has blessed us more than we could ever imagine with this precious little girl. To sum this past year up, I'll have to quote Joe Cocker. "She's everything I hoped for." (FYI. Yes Skitarie, I am crying as I write this. You'll never know how I feel until you have children of your own.)

Playing at the Park

Just like her Dad

Seems like Audrey has been watching me too closely. If this type of behavior continues she may end up with a belly like her Grandpa Morrison.

Elvis

Audrey does her first Elvis impression.

Let's Have Lunch

Audrey got together for lunch with some of her friends. Here's Ethan, Colin, Macy and Audrey lounging on the couch.

Ellie's B-day

Ellie had her first birthday party in Nederland. She's a pretty popular kid as the party was jumping with the bass kicked in and the vegas pumping.

Hold on my Celly is blowing up

Audrey can't go anywhere without her celly.

Audrey and Aunt Jennifer

Audrey got a great surpise when Aunt Jennifer stopped by on her way back to A&M. I'm pretty sure the only reason she stopped by was to see Audrey.

Ollie's first B-day!

Here's a picture from Ollie's first b-day. Jeremy and Candace, Ollie's parents, set quite the precedent for birthdays by renting a moonwalk. This is Ollie and Audrey playing together.

I want to be in Oasis!

Audrey tries to comb her hair like the guys in Oasis. I don't think this look is really working for her.

Skitarie's Christmas Present

It was finally cold enough to wear Skitarie's Christmas present. I think she did a good job picking it out, because Audrey looks pretty freaking cute.

Chuck E. Cheese

Audrey had her first of what will probably be many visits to Chuck E. Cheese. The Warners have David's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese every year. This tradition is still continuing despite the fact that he's nineteen. We had a great time. David and I had about an hour long competition on the basketball game to try to beat the high score. We came to the conclusion that the game cheats.

Parent Commitment

Tonight at our church we had Parent Commitment for Audrey's life. We have committed to raise Audrey in a Christian household and teach her about Christ, which she will hopefully accept as her personal saviour when she reaches the age of accountability. We were so lucky to be joined by a lot of our family and they also made a commitment to help raise Audrey in a Christian environment. Thanks so much for coming, it meant the world to us!

Coke should abandon those stupid polar bears and get a real spokesmodel like this cutie.
