I love you. I can't imagine life without you. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Smoothies and Sunshine









We are loving this 75 degree weather at the end of February! Today we played outside for a long time. We had strawberry smoothies and soaked up the sun. It is so nice to finally get outside without bundling up!

Ready for Church!




Our sweet girl is getting so big. We are really enjoying this stage. She will be 18 months old in just a few days. It seems like all the sudden she is a little girl, no longer a baby. We are continually amazed by the things that she knows, says and does. She is such a blessing!
