The girls love Fridays mornings since we started a new playgroup at church. Their Christmas tricycles have been a hit and also the parachute! So thankful for our church family!

Happy New Year!

2017, we are excited to welcome you here! We are excited to move in our new house and get the year started. We are so thankful for so many things, including you! Thank you for reading our blog and we pray that your year will bring joy and good health! 

 

Christmas Day

It was our year to be in Illinois for Christmas. The girls loved getting a million Aunt Denise packages from Arizona and they also loved all the ornaments on Di Pie's tree. The Stella dolls from Grandma Golda were a hit and they also loved their new Melissa and Doug puzzles. Christmas through the eyes of two, almost three-year-olds is so much more fun than grown up Christmas!
 Merry Christmas, everyone! Love and hugs!

December

It was a busy one, but we enjoyed it lots! 

Decorating their trees

Riding in the car ottoman

Tada!!!!

Silly babies

San Francisco

So I was very ready to be on the ground again during the turbulent flight to California. Before leaving Tennessee, we wrote a will, took separate flights, and typed out important information for babies while we were gone. (Can you tell this is our first flight post baby and the furthest we've ever been away from them?) It was a wonderful work trip with Jason and I enjoyed windy San Fran so much. The food was amazing, the architecture gorgeous, and the "painted ladies" charming. The best part was coming home!

New House

In just a few days, another chapter with our family will begin. We are buying a house! It's in the country, on two acres, in a wonderful school district and a Cape Cod style to boot! We are beyond excited to have a place of our own that we can love and grow old together in. The girls will be making their first memories soon and I'm so thankful to be in our house where they will grow up! They seem a little disappointed every time we look at it and can't go inside. I think they will be excited to have a new bedroom and a big yard to play in. I can't wait to watch them grow up here!
