Mckenna is almost a year old!!!

Where has the time gone???

Mckenna has been growing so much - apart for a "few" ear infections, and colds - she is starting to crawl and is now starting to stand and "walk" around the coffee table - she is doing great. It's hard to believe that she is 11months old and it's been over a year that we have had this blog. I remember when I was just thinking about our little baby, and here she is about to turn 1. We are a little biased, but she is our sweet(est) baby girl. She is such a happy, wonderful baby and we love her sweet laugh. It's the BEST sound in the world. And I never thought that I would love to smell our baby's head - it's the best "smell" in the world. I don't know why I love it so much, but it's one of my many favorite things about Mckenna. I will post more pictures as soon as I can. Love, Lib

Grandpa Herk ~ Wesley B. Merritt

It's been a month since Grandpa Herk passed away - but it seems like it was just a few days since we talked to him on the phone. After the flood on January, he was never the same. When we learned that he was diagnosed with lung cancer, then his hip started hurting him. It seemed like he just could not catch a break. It was all to much. On April 1, 2008, Wesley B. Merritt passed away. His humor and love is very much missed and we are sad that Mckenna will never know how funny her great grandpa was. Thankfully, her father is almost as funny as his Grandpa. He is with his beloved Pat, and we know that they know how much we miss them both.
