Yum

Well this little girl just melts my heart. She is starting to smile and be awake more but sleeping like a champ at night. That, I believe, is a true gift from the Lord....She is such a sweet baby and feel very thankful and humbled to be her mom.

Punkin' Patch

Searching for our punkins with my punkins'! I am just relishing these ages....yes they fight (well the big girls) but they love eachother and they are loving life and I am just enjoying being their momma. Some days are long and hard and frustrating but I know that these days are a gift from the Lord- even the tough ones. I am truly thankful.

First Goal!

M started playing soccer in the Fall of 2007 when she was 4 years old. She has had many of the same sweet little girls on her team since the beginning and they are all slowly getting better and more aggressive and it is so fun to watch. Well Maggie has NEVER scored a goal- she has come close but this season she is really enjoying it and playing more aggressively and most importantly, having a ball! I honestly thought she was getting frustrated with it and would want to try something else but she wouldn't hear of it--- she said Mom I want to play soccer again- I love it... so we signed her up again. Well, this past Saturday it happened....1st soccer goal. I had the baby in my lap and boy when she did that- I jumped up and I am sure Darcy was like... whoa Mom- sit down! I was so excited and boy was she proud. That might be one of my favorite moments of motherhood so far.... just to see her sweet and proud face... it was classic!
