The Big One!

Happy Birthday to Molly! She is now one! And what a cutie pie. We had a small party for her on Friday night, with some close friends and Grandma and Pappaw.

Since Hope's first birthday it has bee my joy and pleasure to make the girls' birthday treats: cupcakes, ice cream cakes, and now just cake. So I got to practice my skills one more time for Molly's birthday. What fun!

Thank you Lord for blessing our life with little Molly Gable. She has brought unspeakable joy and laughter to our lives. In some ways she has been bittersweet, a reminder of those things we missed out on earlier. Thank you for completing our family circle with another beautiful girl. I hope that we may bring her up in your ways and she may grow into a woman of grace and beauty.

Here comes Peter Cottontail!

All those girls!

What a great Easter morning we all had! A great resurrection Sunday and spent with my family. You can't ask for more than that. Hope was precious, Molly fun, and Claire felt good. Yeah!

Hope is wrapping up her first year of homeschool. I can't believe we are almost done. What a fun and memorable year it has been for both of us and she has done so well.

Molly is walking every where.... when her blanket doesn't trip her up. She is quite persistent in everything she does. And she has just the funniest personality. She loves to play by herself... but then she loves to play "peep pie" with her blanket, dance when you sing and clap her hands. She has learned to way bye bye. Her birthday is Friday.... can't wait for the party....

And Claire... oh if we can just get her feeling good. We have discovered her milk allergy, a medicine that will work for her sinus and congestion and above all she has developed reflux again... and it is not fun... Hopefully in another week she will be back to new and we can start working hard again. At the end of this month she will be transitioning to the school for therapy-- a little nervous about all of that.

And it seems like we are also in the process of transition. So I will keep you posted...

Easter egg time. Ever since Hope was not quite 3 we have been having a great time coloring easter eggs. And yes our Easter bunny hides the eggs that we have colored. So we take extra special care to make sure they are perfect. This has become a treasured time between Hope and her daddy. Hope made sure this year that each person in the house had an egg.... she wrote their names on their own eggs. And of course she was awfully excited to hunt those eggs come Sunday morning.
