Happy One Month Birthday


My sweet baby is one month old today. Someone make this ride slow down a little! I can't believe how fast that month flew by. It must be Braden's fault -- every night he prays that time will go by really fast until Daddy comes home. Actually, the first night he said this prayer, he added an addendum -- "except for when I am playing with friends." Apparently he doesn't want his play dates to whiz by. I can't blame him.

What a cutie! I'm sure it is tough having Morgan gone. It sounds like your children are angels! It's tough to appreciate them all the time, at least for me, but when they are lying quiet, sleeping in their own beds, not hitting anyone or making messes, I wonder how I was so blessed!

That photo is precious. Our baby is a year now, and I honestly can't believe how fast it went. He is so darling! -Jen

That is a beautiful picture, Mel. I am so happy for you. I hope time goes by really fast until Morgan comes home except when you're sharing beautiful moments like this with your children. Love you!

Hi Melodie(Duder)
Of Course I remember you! You and Maury were my 2 fave roommates of Molly's (I put Melissa in whole different category since I grew up with her) through her entire BYU experience. Anyway, I've read your blog a few times but wasn't sure if I should comment b/c I didn't know if you would remember me. Well, thanks for being the first to reach out and say hi. Congrats on the new baby. You have truly a lovely family!! And you can tell you are just genuinely happy together! I'm going to enjoy reading your blog more often now that were both insync:)

the picture is so precious. I know what you mean about time flying. It's still hard to believe that mackenzie and braedan will be nine in a few months. Take care and I hope things are going well with morgan gone.Jessica

Hi Melodie and Morgan!

I'm cleaning my desk in the middle of the night & came across you Christmas letter with your BLOG address. Now I'm totally distracted! What a beautiful family! It's been so fun to see your family in pictures and read your great descriptives. Especially sweet to learn of baby Grayson's recent arrival. Congratulations!!

We recently returned from a Maryland trip and a great visit to Calvert Ward.

I love blogs! (Tho' I don't have one -- yet!) Keep up the good work!

Love,
Carolyn Johnson

You are an amazing woman to have a new baby with no husband around to help. When are you going to be finished with that Germany bit and come home to MD? I miss you!

What a beautiful picture! We miss you guys. We're doing well back here in Spain. I can't believe Gray is already a month! I'm so sad we never got to see him before we left :( Maybe you'll all have to come down to Spain to visit!
