Ready to watch the Blackhawks

Allie wore her Kane Blackhawks jersey to watch the Blackhawks game with her daddy. The Blackhawks haven't made the playoffs in seven years, so it's kind of a big deal :)

Allie and her "Goggie"

Allie loves, loves, loves to talk. She can say mama, dada, boo-boo (binky), baba, Go Go Go, quack, woof, UhOh, girl, hi and "Goggie" (Doggie). Her favorite sound is the "G" sound and loves her "Goggies" so much!

Here is Allie snuggling up with her Goggie, Comet, after a long day.

Allie's First Easter

Allie had a great first Easter! She LOVED playing with/picking up the Easter eggs. At one point, she tried to hold FOUR eggs at once!

I accidently left my camera at my mom's house. Nonetheless, I wanted to post a few Easter pictures from Allie's first Easter, courtesy of Chandi and Aunt Carolyn!

This last picture is of Allie with her cousins after the Easter egg hunt! They were so sweet helping her find the eggs!

Hawaii Vacation

We had the honor of taking a family vacation together in March to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai. Here is a view of Allie looking out the window on the plane as it landed!
Allie got to feel the sand in her toes for the first time!

Here is a shot of Allie feeling the ocean water for the first time!

And a picture of the whole family taking a walk on the beach...

We all got the flu on the trip. Allie had it worst of all. She had to go to the ER TWICE! As a result, we didn't take very many more pictures of her in a swimsuit or playing in the water. Here we are at yet another beach. The first picture is a picture of Allie with her Grandma and Grandpa Richards.

This is us at one of the plantations.
