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.

Oh my precious baby Price

What a sweet, precious, and fun 2 years we have had with our little baby Price! I can't believe it is her 2nd birthday already! It seems like yesterday that we experienced one of the most wonderful days of our life- when Price was born, when our sweet children got to hold her at just a few minutes old, when our family was there to greet Price with a hug and kiss and smile, and when our family became a family of FIVE!  Price has been her own unique self from the beginning, and she hasn't changed one bit!  She is so girlie, so sweet, so quirky, and so giggly! She loves a purse, a necklace, a hat. She picks out her shoes and hair bow each day, and tells me "yes" or "no" as I hold up her clothes to get her dressed. She rocks her baby dolls, strolls them around the den, feeds them breakfast with her, and changes their diapers. She loves to swing, to run and play chase, and to watch her brother and sister do everything. Her favorite foods are desserts- ice cream, cupcakes, cookies...she isn't picky! She also likes pizza, mac and cheese, chips and dip, chicken nuggets and French fries. And she LOVES bananas and eggs!!! She is a water baby. She is very independent and confident. She is happy and thinks everyone is her friend. She hugs a little too hard, and she treats babies like they are her dolls!

Pricey holds such a special place in our hearts- being our baby, our last, our "bonus." I tend to rock her a few extra minutes these nights so I can truly cherish the little moments, and I tend to hug her a few extra times...knowing she is our last baby to squeeze and kiss. She is so special and so perfect for us. What a gift the Lord gave us when He blessed us with her little life!

1st day of Kindergarten

Grafton, my big girl, my first, my sweetheart....started Kindergarten this morning! Oh how my heart is so full right now...full of joy for the year ahead, full of peace that she was so excited to go to school today, full of thankfulness that she is so confident and independent, but also full of sorrow that my mornings with my Grafton are over for awhile. It has been an amazing summer, and I wish it never had to end. I wish we could have pajama days, pool days, craft days, and play days forever....I wish I could have all my babies at home with me all the time. But I am thankful that she has such a wonderful school to go to, and so many sweet teachers and friends who will help make this year amazing for Grafton. And I am even more thankful that Grafton was excited and ready for school start back- oh how thankful I am for that! No tears, no jitters, no fears for my sweet girl...only for her Mommy!







Party time!

Sweet Price will be TWO YEARS OLD in just 3 days...how is that even possible?! We have been celebrating her all month with cupcakes and ice cream and treats each week. But yesterday was her big birthday bash! We celebrated our precious baby girl with a pool party at Goose Creek with lots of friends and family. Price loves swimming, she loves cupcakes, and she loves being the center of attention- so the party was perfect for her! We are so thankful for her precious life and for all of the people who love her and adore her.
