A Letter {3!}

Image
Sweet Li, The big three! It's hard to believe that it's been three years since my dream delivery (You're my favorite birth story to date. Don't tell your sisters) and you joined our family. We have had the pleasure and joy of watching you grow into a fun little girl. I find myself whispering to your dad SHE IS SO ADORABLE multiple times a day. You are very active and physical. You love to wrestle with your daddy and you love to tackle him. You're a daddy's girl and get giddy when you see that he's home from work. You will be a willing participant in Caris' scripted play-time for hours and hours and then when you don't want to play her way, you make it known. Yikes. Recently we've been talking about self control and learning to tell us how you feel and what you want. You have a tender heart and discipline & correction has been fairly easy with you. You're picky about how your clothes fit and what types of clothing you want to wear. S

First Snow

Image
I didn't know that snow was in the forecast for today until Kent called me around 1:30 (THANKSKENT!). We were out and about so I 1. Raced home and 2. Didn't tell the girls in case it was a false alarm. Caris' reaction was priceless. She has wanted to see snow for such a long time (but soon after she asked, "So when does it stay all over the ground?" Uhhh...) A fun Wednesday surprise!

2017 {A Look Back}

Image
I've never really believed in the, "Good riddance last year! Glad to see you go!" talk that rolls around for some on New Year's Eve, but that was before I met 2017 {cue dramatic music} And then I was all, "Good riddance 2017! Glad to see you go!" But I paused and heard it holler back, WHAT GIVES? in it's best New York accent and I have to agree...last year had some high lights and God was gracious, faithful, loving and a provider for us.  It began with great joy-a new baby! Had a hard middle-Kent lost his job And ended in both happiness & chaos- Let's live with my parents!  {12 pictures that highlight 2017 for our family} January February  March April May June July August September  October November  December
