THREE!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Audrey Jane!!!  I'm not gonna lie, I'm having a little trouble with you being THREE.  Holy cow that seems old for my baby girl.  But I'm pretty sure you wish you were twice as old as that.  You don't really act 3 (well, except for the temper tantrum, spends lots of time in time out for not listening and biting your brother part), as you want to keep up with all the older kids no matter what.  You are a born leader and so independent.  Wicked smart.  You have definite opinions - you keep us cracking up by telling us when you don't like our clothes or your own clothes.  I have to take my 3 year old shopping to help me dress myself - Lord help me when you're 13.  And while you definitely have your moments, you are also my cuddler - so affectionate, such a good little mommy to all your baby dolls.  You have a special place in our family because you get to be the little sister and the big sister.  And you have a special place in our hearts, Lady Jane.

Christmas 2013

We got Emmeline home from the hospital just in time for her first Christmas.  In short, we were exhausted, but feeling so very blessed this year.  We spent Christmas Eve at home with the Browns and then after opening gifts from Santa on Christmas morning we packed up and headed north to spend a few days with the Vandenbergs.  A beautiful holiday season - so magical through the eyes of small children!!

We took in several holiday lights shows this year, including a walk through the Botanical Gardens




 Isaac's school had their fabulous Christmas concert, he's front and center




Emmeline's First Christmas!
