A quick catch-up

I just wanted to do a quick recap of what's been going on in our busy little lives since I last wrote... I have a longer post to write, but it will have to wait until tonight, when the girls are asleep.

My, how life just passes us by when we're trapped in our own little pity party - looking back now, I see how very richly I am blessed. Praise God. He is so patient with me.

For Halloween, Sophia wanted to be a butterfly, and Amelia was a flower (even though when I first pitched the idea, Sophia asked me "can I sit on her?" Um, no.) It was our first year trick or treating, and they caught on quickly ;)

We finally did remodel our bathroom, but not in soothing blues like my earlier plan... it's pretty darn green, and we love it :)

We travelled to California for Thanksgiving, to spend some time with my family.

Christmas was amazing - what a joyful holiday with two kids old enough to know what's going on! And my Christmas gift... was Porter the Puppy!

That was him all cute and cuddly at 8 weeks old... he's now a very rambunctious, but still adorable, 14 week old monster (Sophia calls him "our very own ferocious beast!") I can't wait to tell you more about him.

Amelia turned TWO at the end of January! She had a sweet dress up party at our house, one that the girls re-enact almost daily, so I think it was a success :)

Well, that is a fast-forward to our lives today... now I need to run see what my two little girls and one little puppy are up to - I hear running water, which is never a good thing!
