I'm 2 Years Old!






Wow! Time has flown by and we've been really behind in updating Allie's blog. It's been a pretty good winter and busy spring so far. Allie is now 2 years-old and just so much fun. She talks quite a bit and loves to make her animal sounds. She has started daycare 4 days a week and spends one day with Grammy as Mom has gone back to work full-time. Allie really enjoys being at daycare and has learned so much and has made lots of friends!

This spring we took a family trip with the Bullion side of the family to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Allie enjoyed playing in the sand and was amused by the ocean! She is not afraid to jump right in the water and likes to go out on the boat with us too.

We hope all our friends and family have a nice springtime and great summer!

The Traveling Toddler!
















It's been a busy couple of months. Allie has been on the go visiting family and friends in Ohio, Texas and the Upper Penninsula! She's had so much fun seeing her cousins this past Summer and Fall! Here are some recent pics!

Summer Fun!












It's been a wonderful summer this year. We've had lots of fun outdoors and have gotten to visit with many of our friends and family. We're having a blast with the Spiess family up from Texas. Allie loves to play with her cousins Jackson and Tyler. On August 30th we had all 3 kids baptized together at Matt and Erica's home church up north. The kids did just great and we had such a nice time. We really appreciate everyone coming - both near and far!
Allie is growing so fast now and is in to everything! She's walking along furniture and will stand on her own - we're sure it will be any day now before she starts walking. Her health has been wonderful and the doctor is pleased with her growth. She's talking now and will say "Da-Da" and "Baby" - no "Mama" yet, but we're working on it :)

We're looking forward to a busy fall and have lots planned. We're going to see everyone in Ohio at the end of the month and then the beginning of October Mom and Allie are off for a girls trip to Austin, Texas to visit Aunt Erica, Uncle Kyle, Jackson, Tyler and Sully dog too! It will be Allie's first plane ride! We're also hoping to go visit Uncle Mark in Marquette this fall.

We hope this note finds you well.
Love, The Shepards

More Topsail Island Pics!






I Love Swimming!






What a fun vacation! We spent a week at Topsail Island, North Carolina with Mom, Dad, Grammy, Uncle Mark and Uncle Mike! I loved to go swimming and enjoyed putting my feet in the sand. I did very well during the 14 hour drive! We had such a great time and loved being with family (and they loved being with me too!) Mom, Dad and my Uncles all took surfing lessons - when I get bigger I'm going to try it too! Hang Loose!
