Halloween cont - the babies

 This guy is a great daddy. He took the girls trick or treating in the cold, damp weather. He is full of patience and grace when I am tired and in need of fresh mercies. I am very thankful for him.

And my babies were so cute this Halloween.





I feel like the gap between my youngest two is starting to rapidly close. Charis is babbling more and will soon be walking. I am continuing to pray that these two will be good friends.

Halloween 2015






Anna, a puppy, Olaf and Elsa....

the craft grandma

If you ask my girls about their Grandma, they will tell you, "She does crafts with us!" She has many lovely qualities. She's loving, thoughtful, patient, considerate, and a good listener. She's very hard working; she does not like to sit. And she also makes a delicious homemade angel food cake. Because of all of these qualities (and more) the girls love having their grandma close, and they really look forward to the crafts that she brings with her on every visit. To them, she is "the craft grandma."

On her last visit, she brought cake and crafts.

One!

My baby is one.

And she is a very cute one. She is also fast becoming spunky, opinionated and loud like a couple of her big sisters.

She still doesn't have any teeth.

She loves to dance.

She is standing briefly on her own. She is not walking, not yet, but she will be soon.

She is as huggable as she looks. We are so thankful for her.

my Birthday weekend

My family made my birthday weekend so lovely. I was so thankful to have my parents here.

Rodney made me one of my favorite meals on Saturday - feta and roasted red pepper stuffed flank steak with new smashed potatoes. We finished the evening off with cheesecake and wine over several rounds of cards.

And on Sunday, Rodney spent the majority of the afternoon smoking a pork shoulder. Yum. It was a slow, quiet day - my favorite kind of day.

Sunday afternoon sunshine and time in the hammock made for some special pictures of the girls too. I am a blessed mama.
