10 Months Old

Ten months ago todayin the midst of a huge snow storm, Sarah Joy joined our family. She has brought so much joy to our household and we are so thankful for her. She has grown so much in the last 10 months, it is hard to believe how quickly it has gone and how much she has added to our life.

She is crawling everywhere, into everything, pulling up on things to stand, loves to eat, and is beginning to babble quite a bit. She points a lot and says "dada" when Nate comes home.

Elizabeth always brings a reaction, lately it has been more frustrating sounds than happy sounds, but she does love her very much and I know they will be good pals.

So, Happy 10 Month Birthday Sarah!! May the Lord bless you and keep you as you trust in Him always.

Love, Mom

We love our Rockies!

Although we were not at one of the most exciting games (they won 11-1), we were able to make it to one of the Rockies games. We are excited to see that they made it into the World Series! The game began Nate's and my annual weekend away. After the game we had the weekend to ourselves (well, relatively - Sarah and Thunder accompanied us, so I guess we were just missing Elizabeth) and went up to the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately the aspen had already lost many of their leaves but we still saw some beautiful sights and we loved getting away. We love the Rockies - both kinds!

Fall is in the Air!

Tonight we went outside to jump in the newly fallen leaves in our yard. As we watched our girls enjoying this activity, my dear husband read my mind...I had been taking pictures and thinking how I would love to share thoughts, pictures, and experiences we have had with friends and family far and near...and that is how this blog was born! Nate helped me - with much patience - to get this set up.

So here is the first of our many thoughts, pictures, and experiences that we will share with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I will enjoy writing in it.
