Waking Up

As I was going through these pictures I was realizing how long ago this was.  Only two and half weeks, but Annika has changed so much already.  Time, please slow down... at least a little bit!!









Spring

I have been so excited to see spring arrive this year!  I'm still looking forward to some warmer weather after these last couple cold, rainy days, but we are definitely enjoying the green grass and all the beautiful flowers.  I especially love the blossoms that bloom on our tree in the front yard every spring.  God's creation is so amazing!





Six

This picture melts my heart.  I love each of these kiddos so much!  I am thankful for each one... for their unique personality, the way they make me look at life differently, the joy they bring to us... and I love watching them with their new baby sister and the sweet way they all adore her.








Our Sweet Baby Girl

We are so happy to welcome our sweet baby girl, Annika Joy, to our family.  She is very loved!  









March Snow

Our week started off exciting with getting about eight inches of snow.  I think all of us are very ready for spring, but the snow was beautiful and it has all melted now.  I really didn't feel like putting the kiddos in all their snow gear and going out there, but once we got out there we were happy we did it.  I have come to appreciate the changing of seasons so much more since living here!




 I had to include this picture!  When we came back inside these two snuggled up on the couch and big sister was attempting to "serenade" her brother. :)
