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.

Results of a Mommy Melt-down

Yes...you read that right...I had a Mommy melt-down Sunday night...a MAJOR Mommy melt-down. I realized that I only have 2 weeks left with Grafton until she starts big girl school. I have 2 weeks left until she goes to school every single morning. I have 2 weeks left with all my babies together each morning to play, have pajama days, and go fun places. TWO WEEKS!!! (actually now it is only one full week, but if I let myself think about that I will have another meltdown so.....)

I am a ridiculously emotional mommy. I cry at every milestone, every birthday, every "first" and every "last." So when I realized I had 2 weeks left with my Grafton girl, I vowed to make every day special for us. This week we have played with friends, we have had ice cream, we had a cousin day, we went to the park, we shopped, we painted, we had DeeDee time, we had a girl's night, and tomorrow we are having a pool day. I've been trying to think of all of Grafton's favorite things to do, and I am making it a point to do it all! Yes, I have cried every single day thinking of this new stage of life that we are about to enter (the "school days" phase) and I know I am probably going to cry every day next week too, but luckily Grafton couldn't be more excited about starting school!! The other day she told me "Mommy, you know that when I am not with you I miss you so much.....but I am really excited about starting my new school!!!" Such a big girl. Such a big heart. Such a precious soul.

Trying on her new school uniforms
 It's an airplane of course!!
 Hotty Toddy, little rebel!! Ready for some football!

 Just a normal breakfast for these two...
 Bath baby
 Not my smartest parenting decision but they sure did have a lot of fun!
 Price's first ice cream cone! Love at first taste!
 All in an hour's time....this boy has way too much energy!!!
 I am afraid to get too excited, but Price currently LOVES her baby dolls. Granted she loves cars and trains too....but maybe I will get a girlie girl after all?!?!
 Sweet cousin Rachel and baby Abigail came to Oxford for the day! Lots of fun with these kiddos.
 James had a slumber party with DeeDee and boy was he excited!! He asks me every day if he can go to DeeDee's house, so this was a HUGE treat for him!
 Movie night with my big girl!! She loved Turbo and is dying to see it again!
 Suddenly I hear "Mommy! Look! The chair ate me!!!" This girl is full of humor.
 Oh how quickly these kids have gone from "this" to "this"...almost a year has gone by in the blink of an eye.
Impromptu trip to the playground! Sometimes the most fun activities are the random, last minute, unplanned ones.
