We took our first family vacation to Hilton Head Island, SC this week.  Jada loved the "big water" and really enjoyed playing in the sand.  She was so much fun to watch and see the excitement on her face as she experienced different things for the first time.  She saw dolphins, pelicans, sea gulls, a live water snake and actually got to touch a live starfish before I put it back into the water.  As with that starfish, let's make a difference in the future of these little girls, one life at a time.

I don't know how, but I seem to fall in love with her more and more every day.

Jada had a wonderful Christmas and everyone loved having her around.  Here are a few shots taken since my last entry just after our vacation.  The three pictures of Jada in the white dress are kind of special.  The dress was made by my Grandmother for my Mother when she was about 2 years old.  That would make the dress over 75 years old at the time of these pictures.
