Bella's four month photo session. This is the only good one I got. :(

The Shaw's
These kids are sooo cute! Ornery too, as I'm sure you'll figure out on your own. Thanks, Annie for letting me get some of my creative juices out of my system!

Dedication
August 10, 2008 Jeremy and I dedicated our children to God. This is by no means taking place of their salvation, just a solemn vow to raise them in an environment ripe with God's love, His Word, and His commandments. We were so blessed to be supported by grandparents, aunts, and cousins who have promised to pray a hedge around them. We'd love to have your prayers also!

Nana
Patsy Rae Graff born January 28, 1940, passed to her home in Heaven August 2, 2008. She is survived by her husband Robert, 10 children, 19 grandchildren, and 2 great-grand children. She was proceeded in death by one child, Jamie.
Her children quoted from 1 Corinthians 13 how she loved everyone unconditionally, from Ephesians about the fruits of the spirit, and how she lived everyone of them, and from Proverbs 31 how her children would rise up and call her blessed, how she always took care of her household, and multitudes of others who found themselves at her door. The theme of the day, was, in the end, what will you be remembered for? Her's was a life liven for God, every day, no exceptions. We all knew we were loved and prayed for by her every day.
Bella was not a planned child, but God's ways are above our ways, He knew my little girl would bring smiles and joy to us in our time of sorrow. Nana, I miss you, and am so glad Bella got to meet you! I'll raise her to know the same God you served and we'll see you in Heaven one day.

Bella's family
I know there are more pictures of people holding Bella. I don't have them on my computer. So send them to me, and I'll post them!

Can you tell I'm the photographer of the family? This is the only picture I have of the two of us!
Papaw Mike is so good with grandchildren! He can always get her to burp even when she doesn't want to. :)
Bella's first trip to Kentucky. Grandpa Kevin says he won't let her be a rotten princess, so I'm sure she'll be right in the middle of these boys tussle matches.
Grandma Pam and Aunt Melissa just want to kiss and squeeze her all day long. Being the only girl so far, they want to buy all the cute clothes they see for her!
This is Papa John. It always makes me think of pizza when I say this, so we might just call him Papa. She'll be spoiled by him...
Mimi's in love. I know when Bella gets bigger, Mimi's house will be a favorite vacation spot.
Aunt Lizzy spent three of her vacation days waiting for Bella. She was so happy to see her arive. I'm sure they'll be shopping buddies down the road.
I've been told Great Grandpa Nyikos used to hold me like this. I think he was having flashbacks as he held Bella for the first time.
Great Grandpa Graff just kept saying how beautiful she is. He asked me to take a picture of the two of them.
A four generation picture on Mother's Day 2008. "Her children shall rise up and call her Blessed" comes to mind every time I think of my Nana.
Aunt Abi has three beautiful children, but no girls. :) Her boys' long, gorgeous eyelashes are the envy of all of us. I think you should try for one more...it HAS to be a girl this time. :)
Cousin Melissa knows how to hold a baby. Bella's just crying because she just pooped EVERYWHERE and ruined her new little outfit. :(
Lydia and Bella are third or fourth cousins, I'm not sure. They're only two days apart, so we hope they are more like sisters than anything.
This is cousin Jackson, he's not too sure what to do with someone smaller than him.
