OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT

We have some exciting news in our family: Elle is going to be a big sister! We are so thrilled to have another little sweetheart join our family. Our new little one will be with us around Christmas time!

SUMMER FUN

We had so much fun in Arizona!

Elle and I met up with my Mom and Nanci in Arizona to tend Greg and Melissa's three darling children- while they went on a fabulous vacation to Costa Rica. We had so much fun! However, I must say it was exhausting with four little children under 3! But we loved spending time with those cute kids! You can see from the pics we did a lot of fun things with them! Elle was very comfortable with the kids, we love our cousins! We also had a great time with my cousin Julie and her two kids Josie and Evan. We spent one morning at the children's museum with them and swimming afterwards!

EASTER SUNDAY

Easter morning was a beautiful sunny spring day and so much fun with Elle being able to experience a little easter egg hunt and finding surprises in her easter basket.

Elle had a bag of cookies in her easter basket. Look at her face when she sees them!! Her favorite word is "cookie"





check out my teeth!


Spencer likes to write me poems for holidays and different occasions. He wrote this one for easter:
Happy Easter to my most beautiful and precious Elle's
The Easter bunny has come admist the ring of church bells.
Treats and baskets full of surprises
Scattered everywhere before the sun rises.
Daddy this year was in on the visit
Eat too much candy and in church you may start to fidget!
Look for the notes wrapped on each special treat
Your search is rewarded with promises Daddy will keep.
Small acts of kindness was daddy's goal
For a meaningful Easter comes from the soul.
Jesus Christ atoned for everyone's sins
Salvation through grace, all mankind may win.
The price He paid is beyond comprehension
All he asks in return is our dedication.
Salvation and Eternal Life was made possible
Our Heavenly Father's plan is truly remarkable!

Finding her easter basket from Grandma Posey! Thanks Grandma
