One of my favorites

Carly has been engrossed in going through boxes of old pictures lately. This one of her, from a Christmas pagent long ago is one of my favorites of her. I think she was the cutest, fluffiest little sheep ever.

Just the way he thinks

Jacob was chosen to wrap my birthday gift from Billski. Somehow, the gift changed into a gift from Jacob.......and others as they came to his mind. Overall, the "wrapping" was obviously a skill he inherited from me.

Benjamin turns ONE!

What a fast year! Benjamin is walking everywhere, can say a few words (important ones like Mamaw) and is generally a happy kid now. He is a joy to have around and it's been a blessing having him here so much.

Sunday, about 50 friends and family gathered to celebrate the event. Andie made Ben's cake, which was both beautiful and delicious. I took the last batch of Bits & Pieces ice cream to the party and Benjamin smiled and cooed his way through dinner, cake & presents.
and then he was done.

A new member of the family - Jasper

Jasper belongs to Sophie and Keegan. He is an 8 week old boxer pup and they are head over heels crazy about him.
