24 months = 2 years!

On Tuesday, our little girl turned the magical age of two! It is amazing to think how much she has changed in two years - from little peanut to confident toddler. It is wonderful to watch her grow up and we look forward to all of the fun times ahead in year 3!

This idea was borrowed from several different friends and despite not having Photoshop or a Mac, it turned out okay...and we look forward to adding more pictures to the collection!
Many thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us over the last couple weeks. We have made up for her two canceled 1st birthday parties! More pics from these fun events to come soon!

Pancreatic Cancer Sucks

The Gibbs family is walking in PurpleStride '09 - a walk to raise funds for pancan.org - on September 27th in Detroit. Help "Team Carroll" demolish its fundraising goal!

Believe me when I say that pancreatic cancer REALLY DOES SUCK. I couldn't do enough to help my dad in his fight against it. My kids still lost their only remaining Carroll biological grandparent.
But at least we can help fund an organization that provided tons of information and support for my stepmother and my father while he was alive.

Thanks for considering raising funds with us! If you are in Detroit - JOIN OUR TEAM!!!

Peace

A note to our friends - my beloved father, John Carroll, is now at peace after an unbelievable battle with pancreatic cancer.
My dad in 2007 - after Natalie was born.

We are truly thanking God for helping him rest.
