sooooooooooo, today 3/4/08 i was asked to update molly’s page… and in doing so lost everything that was on the page… i e-mailed wordpress tech support… nick told me to check google for a copy in their cache… we are back in business… thanks nick and google!!!

11/4/07… molly got her first tooth!!! yeah!!!

11/7/07… molly got her second tooth!!!

1/17/08… i know this is horrible, it’s been two and a half months…but tonight molly did something for the first time… she has been rolling all over the house and getting into things… but tonight she was rolling over to kasey’s laptop and she just stopped… then she sat up on her own, from laying down. she is getting so big and strong it’s just awesome!

1/29/08… today molly’s third tooth is peeking out… this is the first tooth on top and is causing the biggest fuss so far… good thing grandma is here playing with her!

2/5/08… today was molly’s 9 month check up… she is now 31″ long!!! she weighs in at a lean 18.2 lbs. and that “third” tooth was the third and fourth… they are both fully visible and she is grinding away at them…

2/15/08… we had to move the mattress down in molly’s crib today. she’s wearing 18 month clothing at 9 1/2 months… TALL…. so we jumped down to the next to lowest position for her bed… at the same time she has now mastered the art of showing how big molly is… “SO BIG” and proceeds to applaud herself upon completion of the task…

3/18/08… so now molly is crawling here and there… pulling herself up to furniture and opening every drawer she can get her hands on… mainly she loves to chase her brother around the house (oliver - 20lb. cat!!!) so far he can still out run here, but it won’t be long!!! just another six weeks til she turns ONE!!!

3/24/08… so yesterday was molly’s first easter celebration…she was a celebrity as always…she is now crawling all over God’s creation…not only that she is already testing her musical skills on the guitar and keys!!!

4/16/08… so we’re just two weeks away from celebrating 1 year of molly blessing our lives…i had to add this next picture…who can’t love that face!!!

4/17/08… so today we were on our way home and stopped at the store…mommy ran in to get some cough medicine while daddy sat in the car with molly…i was then introduced to a whole new aspect of parenting…PROJECTILE VOMITING!!!all over molly, the back seat, her car seat…WOW!!! that wasn’t in the owner’s manual!?!

4/30/08… HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!!!

5/6/08… molly had her one year check up…she’s in the 98th percentile in height and the 25th percentile in weight…19.8 lbs and 32 inches long!!! (needless to say she takes after her mother in the weight category!)

5/21/08… tonight i got home from work and molly was there with grandma kay…she took three or four steps just holding on to the wall so she could get to grandma!!! it won’t be long…

5/26/08… molly got her new big girl car seat…got to use it for the first time…she is loving life!!!

6/14/08… molly went swimming today for the first time…be sure to check back…i will be adding pics this week as proof…

8/21/08…i’m horrible i know, it’s been two months since i updated molly’s page…but last night she took THREE STEPS ON HER OWN!!! (we were cheering so loud she didn’t know what to do!!!)

10/18/08…molly got her first haircut…grandma kay did it with mommy’s help…now she looks like a big girl!!!

Dear Jon, Kasey, and Molly,

You are such a beautiful people with a God given talent to touch the heart and soul of everyone you encounter with your voice of praise. You came to Twin Oaks at a very vulnerable time for us the first time. You helped us pour out our heart, souls, and tears to God Almighty in praise and total worship. We sooo… needed that helping hand at that time. The presence of God in that sanctuary was overwhelming and humbling. I thank you. Now you have blessed us a second time with not only song and worship, but a precious new little miracle from God. She is so wonderful! I have done Private Duty as a Healthcare Worker for almost 10 years. I had just lost a sweet lady to cancer that week, and was just a little down about it. Well, God showed me a little kiss from Heaven that week… … … for her name was “Molly.” Thank you for all you do to bring honor, and glory, and praise to our God.

Your friend in Christ Jesus,
Michele Hodges
