Dear Cora Ann,
Granddad and I wanted to let you know how much we love you! Today is the first day of spring, and in a week you will be celebrating your first birthday!!! We waited with much anticipation for your arrival and were so happy and thankful when we were able to hold you for the first time! You are our first grandchild and grand-daughter. We were thrilled when you made your first trip to WV so we could let the rest of the family meet you. During 2009 you celebrated your first Easter, 4th of July celebration, and first Christmas. You also gave your Mommy and Daddy their first Mother and Father’s Day. You have experienced your first bite of many new and delicious foods – some of which you loved and others were okay. Your parents saw you first rolling over, pulling up, standing up, and taking a step. My, my – how many first you have experienced in your first year of life! Some of your "first" are not good memories - your first shot, ear infection, stuffy nose, and I'm sure there are others, but for the most part most created great excitement for all who love you!!
You will experience many more first as you begin your second year of life. We pray that as you get older you will recognize the love we have for you and are so proud and humbled to have you as our first grandchild to love and cherish!!! Someday I hope you will be able to look back at some of the post on this blog and read them for yourself knowing that they were written with love! The love we have for you can never be measured, but know it is given with all our being!
We have literally hundreds of pictures of you! I went through those pictures and chose some that show how you have grown this past year!!!! I have tried to put them in chronological order, but I'm sure I have some out of sequence!!! You are our precious baby girl and we love you bunches!!!! We hope you have a wonderful first birthday, and are so glad we will be able to help you celebrate it!!!
We love you Cora Ann!
Granddad and Mammaw

So sweet! I love how in some of her pictures she looks JUST like David and in some of them she looks JUST like Jeni. She is the perfect mixture of her wonderful Mommy and Daddy!!!
You're right Ruthie - she does look like both of them!!! Bill and I even thinks she looks like Riley in some of the pics we've got!!! She is a precious baby girl whom we love very much!
Thanks Sue! That was really sweet! :) She has grown up so fast, huh? Soon she'll be getting her driver's license! :)
Oh my Jeni,
That's growing up way too fast for me!! :):)
