Monday, March 30, 2015. 1 year ago today I talked to my friend on the phone for 45 minutes right before she took her daughter shopping. We talked about our kids and how we try our best to raise good human beings. We discussed all the similarities and differences with first borns, middle children, and the babies of the family. The following day was April 1st.

Monday, February 27, 2012. I hope that my daughter Lyla Anne, named after my grandma, will grow up to be as strong-willed and independent as my grandma was. I hope that she has the courage to deal with life without letting life get her down. I hope someday she understands that she was named after a pretty amazing woman. And I hope my grandma knows how much she is missed. Sunday, February 26, 2012. Thursday, February 23, 2012. 5 Year and 1 Year Check-ups. Of course, we are not .

Saturday, January 31, 2015. We had a great Christmas! My siblings were all home for the first time in forever and it was great to celebrate with them! Here is a picture of our girls before we headed out for Christmas Eve service. Their excitement for Christmas was so special! I wanted to bottle it up so I could always remember it. Home after church and setting cookies and milk out for Santa. Lilly had to sample the milk to make sure it was okay! I was able.
