Walking

Libby is officially walking. Yes she is predominately walking, with a little crawling thrown in when she gets off balance and wants to get some where fast. She does look a little bit like a Thriller Zombie when she walks but she could get down the isle as a flower girl like that. Yeah Libby is a walker. Next...running a marathon with mommy!

I LOVE YOU

The sweetest words I have ever heard from my sweet baby girl. Not only is she giving lots of sweet kisses and blowing kisses and giving love pats on the back when she snuggles in for a hug she also says, "I Lo You"! I love you too Miss Libby Girl and Jesus loves you even more, can you beleive that?!

Prayers

Time for bed Libby, let's say our prayers... and tonight she did it, she clasped her hands together and sat quiet (for about 5 seconds), but for those 5 seconds she was the most reverant child in love with the Lord. Isn't it incredible that we can all talk to the Lord.
We all pray together at night, "Dear Jesus thank you for family and friends, by name one by one..."
In the morning we sing, "Good Morning God, this is your day, I am your child, show me your way." In the car on the way to Nanacare we pray for our day and the Joy of the Lord to be with us and in us throughout the day, that we might share God's love with all those we see.
Dear Jesus, thank you for this day. Thank you for who you are in our lives. We pray you will show your love to all those around us as we share your joy! AMEN.
We are working on saying, "Amen". I'll let you know when she gets that down.

Parade - Happy 4th of July

Libby's first parade. We love Dundee so many neighbors turned out for the Dundee Parade! Libby had a ride in her wagon and waved her firecracker wand! Red, White & Blue. We love celebrating the freedom we have hear. We are taking time to say thank you to our veterans and those serving in our military. God Bless America.

4th of July Parade

Libby waved proudly and clapped for the preteens cheering USA! Libby was dressed in her red, white and blue waving from her wagon at all her new neighbors. Dundee has a parade on JE George Blvd from Western to Memorial Park. There was a band and everything. I was amazed by the number of people there.  Have a blessed day and God bless America!

Libby is 1

Happy 1st Birthday Elizabeth Ann Kubicek! 

Libby waved at the crowd of family and friends gathering around to celebrate her 1st year of life.

 Our little princess was a birthday princess. With joy we watched her smile, wave and play with delight.

Um cake with lots of cream cheese frosting. Tangled Rapunzel Barbie was a ballerina princess cake for Libby to enjoy. With tiara cupcakes and a castle cone cake for ice cream fans. 

What a beautiful day to celebrate with to who love Libby! 

Count Down to Libby's 1st Birthday 1 Day!

We have had a lot of first in the last year. Most of them have been noted in this blog. Thank you for walking along side us and often holding us up in prayer through all the joys and exhaustion.
