January

We ring the new year in...

Begin our 3^rd month of living with my inlaws after selling our house...

Kinley & Raya start walking...

And we finally find our new home.

We continue working on our new home – it feels like it will never be done...

And I realize that I’ve lost my cool.

I rejoice…and rejoice…and rejoice...

And I have an awkward conversation with the AT&T lady about our non-working internet.

June

The girls and I spend every day at the pool...

I admit that we might be addicted to summer...

Spend Saturdays at home just being together...

You all help us figure out what we are going to name this little guy...

Whew! So here we are.We are looking forward to a new year, and finding out what God has in store for us – like a sweet baby boy :)!!

I hope you all have a great New Years!!
