Lilly's Blessing





























So we finally found a weekend that both our families could be together and we were able to bless Lilly. We did it at home, and it was very special. We are very grateful for the support of our families and it was nice to all be together. Thanks for the contributions to supper, and sorry for the kinda firm potatoes!! At least they were edible!! Grossmuetti made the gorgeous dress. I am so lucky to have such an amazing heirloom. And thanks to Grandma Hancock for making the slip!! We just love Lilly to bits. She is such a good little girl, and we can't imagine our life without her!!!

Luke + Glasses







Yes, I have a 2 yr old with glasses!! And let me tell you, we LOVE them. First of all, Luke loves them......He can see! His eyes are very bad, we are talking a +8. I don't know how he functioned without them. He was missing out on alot of things. I think back to things I would say, "Look out the car window and see the horses!!" "See the little motorbikes on your Pjamas?" "Look at the hoes and loaders on your sheets." Um, ya, he could not see any of them. Poor kid. When he got his glasses he was in awe!! He could see Sponge Bob on his toothpaste and said, "Wow....cool!!" And all of a sudden his books were a little more exciting. So as you can see, we are very grateful for those cute little glasses upon Lukes nose. He has started talking better and I think that things are making more sense for him. Those of you with glasses know exactly what I'm talking about. So when I think of things that I am so thanful for, Lukes glasses are on the top of my list. As you can see, he even likes to wear Mr. Potato Head glasses too!!

P.S. He has had them for just under 2 months, and we are already on our second pair of frames!!!! You can't expect too much from a 2 yr old! especially when he falls off a trailer, face first into the concrete. Chad has had to take the pliers to them more than once.

Am I crazy?

So.... here goes blogging for me. I figured I may as well join the world of blogging mommies. It seems like the "thing to do!!" This is my effort to start journaling and letting my family and friends know of my wild and crazy life. Hopefully I don't regret this, although Chad might when I don't get the laundry done, don't clean the house, don't cook supper, and forget about the kids!! Just kidding, I don't think I'll get that obsessed, although there are some of you out there!! So we will see how long this lasts. Wish me luck in my blogging adventure!!!
