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.

A Joyful Christmas Day!

Christmas Day exceeded all expectations that I had this year- it was special, joyful, fun, and filled with so much love and happiness. It was the first time we have been able to stay home all day and just celebrate Christmas.  My family came over in time to see the children's reactions to Santa's gifts (James was insanely excited but Grafton was still waking up...which means her mood was not the brightest!), we cooked a good breakfast and played with all of the toys from Santa.  Scott gave the kids a swing set, and Eric and Pops put it together for them and somehow we hid it from Grafton for a few days!!  They had a blast swinging and sliding outside, checking out their new trains and games inside, and enjoying all the excitement around them.  It was really a magical time for us.
