January

These are just a couple pictures from January. The ones of Lexi are from a day she decided to talk to my mom. I was laughing so hard at her. She kept moving positions. Oh my- it was so cute!! The last few are of Emily. Just because! :) Enjoy!

Our baby is 3!

I don't understand how it's possible. Our sweet baby girl is 3. Where has time gone? I want it back!! What a privilege & joy it has been to be her parents the past 3 years. She has brought so much joy & laughter to our home. Maybe a little frustration & stress too. But mostly joy! :) I was never sure you would get the potty training thing down. But like they say- we are looking back, laughing at it now. I can't imagine a life without princess dolls & clothes, Dora the Explorer, lots & lots of singing, suckers, lip gloss, donuts, Curious George, Mickey Mouse, & tea parties. You are so beautiful and smart. You say some of the funniest things! You love your baby sister with all your heart. Mom & Dad love you so, so much! We are the luckiest parents in the world!

Sweet, 1 day old Alexia Joy

Christmas in Iowa

As usual, our time in Iowa went by so fast! And I hardly took any pictures. I'm blaming it on my post-pregnancy brain! :) Lexi was extremely disappointed there was no snow. She was certain it wouldn't be Christmas until it snowed. Well- it never snows in TN, so then she decided it would snow in Iowa. And it didn't. What are the chances?? So we were a little bummed about the weather this year. Maybe next year...
