Out like a lion!

By the length between posts, you can tell we've been busy. March has been quite a month and ended with a Bang. By "Bang" I mean Adrian managed to catch the flu, giving her parents more than a few sleepless nights!
Earlier this month we made a trip to Dillon, SC. Ben's grandfather, Gentry Arnette, passed away on March 3. He was a great man who lived an extra-ordinary life. I'm glad that he got to meet Adrian last Fall. I'm also thankful she and her cousins were able to attend his funeral. They were certainly a bright spot for everyone. During the funeral, Adrian was very passionate about the minister's message and shouted her, "Hallelujahs" (in a small Mosoleum, mind you)! I was embarassed, but was assured by all who knew Mr. Arnette that he would have loved it! I'm sure she was just saying her good-byes the only way she knew how.
Adrian is starting to scoot around and I think I see a little toothbud starting to show itself. I have no doubt that April is going to be a much better month. Spring is starting to show its colors and Adrian continues to discover who she is and what she can do. In a few weeks, we will be heading to Amelia Island to see my family, including my long lost brother, both of my grandmothers, my parents and my aunt, uncle and cousin! I am looking forward to it. I'll be sure to post pictures of Adrian's first encounter with the beach. Have a wonderful Easter!
Much Love, Jess

Her looks have matured so much in just a month! You're right, she is so cute! Millie doesn't do so well when quietness is necessary either. I'm always scoping an "out" just in case. Glad everyone is feeling better. Keep those posts coming :)
