Hello friends and family! Eric and I welcomed our little girl, Grafton, into the world on January 9, 2009 and our baby boy, James, on December 2, 2010! We have just been blessed with our precious baby girl, Price, who was born August 28, 2012. We feel incredibly blessed and humbled, and we thank our gracious Lord above for all of our amazing family and friends. We hope this blog can give you a glimpse into our lives and a taste of how precious our children are. God is so so good, and we praise His Holy name.

Mother's Day thoughts

This Mother's Day I had a flood of emotions as I realized yet again how blessed I am to be a Mother, to have an amazing Mother, and to know so many great Mothers.  Words cannot express how wonderful my own mom is, and I am thankful to have had such an amazing role model and example of a loving mother. She has provided me with unconditional love and support, and I am incredibly blessed to be able to share so many experiences and memories with her. 

I am also incredibly thankful for Grafton and James- they make me want to be the best possible mom that I can be. They make being a mom so much fun and so gratifying- it is the best job I could ever have and I love spending each day with them!

And I am also so thankful for the many many women that I know who are moms or who long to be a mom- without having such wonderful examples to follow, I wouldn't know where to begin myself!  Watching other moms and learning from them have helped me become a better mom and person.

So this Mother's Day I lift up so many moms in prayer and thank God for the incredible women in my life! Here are a few pictures from my Mother's Day- I cooked dinner for my family and parents, and we enjoyed a relaxed evening!

 She loves icing, hates chocolate chip cookies!
