Amelia is 2 Months!

Its hard to believe that Amelia is two months already! She has had a pretty big life so far and it will not slow down with Steven and I as her parents! I am glad that she is a good little traveler because with us she will get to see the world!

The beginning of this month Drury was invited to play an exhibition game at Duke University. I don't know if I am crazy or what but at the last moment I decided to take Amelia and drive with Steven's parents! Yes I took a 6 week old baby across country!
We learned a lot on this trip together, me and her! I learned how to change her diaper anywhere! I had to change it in the car because not every restaurant has changing tables! Who would have thought that one! Then we learned how to eat in the car! I would feed her while Steven's parents were inside eating, then I would eat going down the road. Amelia took all of this in stride and did a great job! She even continued to sleep through the night in many different places.
I couldn't be happier that we were able to go to see Steven mark off one of his bucket list items. He had only dreamed of going to a Duke game in his lifetime, and better yet, he was able to practice and coach on the floor against Coach K (and shake his hand)! Needless to say we had a GREAT time, but was very ready to get back home.
This is our little family at Duke and Amelia's first basketball game of many!
Not many kids can say that their first basketball game was at Duke watching their Dad coach!
Amelia also was dedicated to the Lord on Steven's birthday, October 27th. We had lots of family and friends there to attend! Amelia doesn't quite know yet how much she is loved, but she will soon find out. We were truly blessed and humbled by how many people helped us celebrate this wonderful occasion. After church we went to my Dad and Lisa's house for chili and cake. This was one day I will never forget and be so excited to share with Amelia when she gets older.

Also one fun fact, the dress Amelia wore the day she was dedicated is the same dress that I wore when I was baptized. The dress was made by my mother.
