Hello Again!

That one time I didn't update my blog for well over a year and a half and in the mean time...found out we were pregnant (at 3 months along), found and bought a house, moved in, took six college credits and re-certified in elementary education, finished a basement, had a baby, took a cruise, and learned how to be a mom to four girls. Whew!

 Move-in day to our new house, November 2014:

 On our way to Arizona for Christmas 2014:

Family vacation to Disney World for a week. We met nearly every single princess and the girls were in heaven. So were Drew and I watching the magic on their sweet faces.

Spending a Saturday in June at Great Falls, MD...

Now Reese is 1 and we are busier than ever, but I am determined to keep a better record of our family. I love them so much and our sweet girls are growing up to be so incredibly unique, beautiful, and nurturing. What a blessing family is.
