Gracie turns 1!

I can't believe it's been a year! Gracie

is so fun. How can such a little
person have so much personality?

She just mastered the skill of
walking and saying, well, demanding,
things. For instance, if I yell for

one of the other kids or Steve,

Gracie mimmicks me by mumbling

very firmly. She deffinently means

it. Then she looks at me like, "Yeah,
we told them!". It's

both very cute but
worrisome at the
same time!

Christmas Time!!!

We couldn't wait to get all the
decorations up! The kids were
very "helpful" and eager to help with
everything. We put on Christmas
music and put things up until the
kids started to fall asleep!

The Latest and Greatest!

The joys of parenting!!! The kids are as cute as ever and love to make messes! But they're worth it. They love to do crafts and help me bake things. I'm so glad they teach Steve and I how to have fun! We can get so caught up with everyday stresses and troubles that we forget the simple things in life. They remind us to take a breath and live in the moment. We're truly blessed to have such a beautiful family!!!
