Miss Jordyn


Miss Jordyn is 9 going on 19! She spends most of her time on the computer, dancing to music, playing her nintendo ds, and reading in the bathtub. (reminds me of myself at that age!) When we are graced with her presence, she is playing with her sisters or unloading the dishwasher. She still enjoys school and was nominated by her teacher to participate in leadership club. We are all proud of her and can't wait to see what she accomplishes in the next few years.

Miss Emylee


Our sweet Emylee has become a force to be reckoned with! Not quite two but definately demonstrating the "terrible twos" at times, she has a mind of her own. Whether it is scattering every toy in the toy box or demanding "juice" in her favorite cup, she keeps us on our toes. Oh, but what a smile and a sweet disposition when she chooses! She wasn't too sure about the new pink bundle but has since become such a big helper mom has to make sure new baby sister isn't helped right out of the swing or off the couch. But, we wouldn't trade this sweet little blessing for anything!

Miss Victorya


Well, as most of you know, our biggest news of 2008 was the newest addition to our family. Miss Victorya Joy was born on the 10th of December at home. She was a beautiful, bouncing, QUIET, bundle of joy -until at three weeks she introduced us to the exhausting, very misunderstood world of colic. For weeks I nearly went out of my mind trying to find a rhyme or reason. Did I eat something spicy? Is she overstimulated? Did she not nap enough? Did she nap too much? Gas? Burp? Wet? Hurt???? After trying everything and nothing, I did some research and read everything I could get my hands on. She is now 8 weeks old and I have become an expert on her cues. One thing is for sure, she has taught us all the meaning of patience and unconditional love. What an unexpected blessing she has been for us!
