Cathing Up

So, we are 9 weeks out of welcoming our last little one and things are beginning to feel normalish again! I'm going to play catch up while there's only one kid here and the others are at church for a bit! I have written several posts over the last couple months but didn't have time to add pictures and proof read, so now I'm just going to catch up and post them all at once! ;)

The First Christmas

This Christmas was a special one! They all are, but this one was unusually so! We were celebrating our first Christmas in our new home and Analeigh's first Christmas too! We enjoyed (as much as possible with a newborn) all the fun things that the season brings...Advent, elves, Santa, cookies, good deeds, Jesus and Fun! The big kids were a big part of the Christmas program at church and that was a delight to watch! (more from that later!). It was a wonderful time spent enjoying our new baby and family!

New Year and Adventure Awaits

Adventure Awaits What a year it's been! And what an exciting year ahead! 2016 included many unforeseen changes and opportunities. All of which have been exciting and beautiful and we are so grateful for another amazing year with our little family! As the year ends we find ourselves in a new home, another member strong, and another year older. 

2017 has rolled in and we are excited and looking very much forward to the adventure that awaits! Watching the baby of the family grow and change so fast as babies do in their first year, celebrating birthdays, holidays and ordinary days in our new home, completing third and first grade and moving on to the next, and family trips! It's all filled with amazing opportunity and busting at the seams with love! This past year involved an incredible amount of simplifying...work load, home, "stuff", and activities. It's taught us so much and we start this year with a totally different perspective, joy and anticipation of what's to come! We are so unbelievably grateful and blessed to live the life we do and we can't wait to see what's waiting right around the corner for us and our family! So, here's to you, 2017! Thank you Lord for the blessings of this past year and of the year to come! God is so good! <3

This covers Christmas and New Years, I have a few more to catch up on and then I'll be back in present time! ;)
