Walking??!!

Beautiful girl

Just a couple of photos

What a treat that a friend took this picture of us on New Year's Eve! It seems like we're always behind the camera these days, focused on whatever cute thing our little darling is up to.


Speaking of cute things: It's been too cold to swing lately, so we've been bouncing--really enthusiastic bouncing.

Strawberries are bliss

Yum!

Here, Dad, you try it!

Her silliest, happiest face

What a nut!

Front porch addition

Kevin's grandmother gave us this very neat planter for our front porch. We decided to plant a gardenia. I hope we have lots of sweet blossoms greeting us this spring and summer. I love it!

A Psalm for today

I've been dwelling on this Psalm lately, particularly verses 3 and 4. It reminds me of how big God is. And that God is mindful of each of us - how amazing!

Psalm 8

Helping Dad

She had no idea she was helping Dad eliminate her access to kitchen goodies.

De-Christmasing

Caroline wasn't quite ready for all the decorations to be put away. She kept trying to take out whatever we put in the boxes. What a sweet little helper!

A very happy Christmas

We had a really nice Christmas. In fact, our celebration lasted almost a week! Caroline and I spent the actual holiday with my parents and grandmother and sister and neice in KY. (Kevin was working.) Then we came home and spent some time with Kevin's sister. Then we had our family Christmas. Kevin's parents came down New Year's Eve weekend and we celebrated some more. This week has felt a little dull in comparison!

And, as usual, I didn't take nearly enough pictures. Here are a few that I did manage to capture. We felt particularly blessed this year and hope that you did, too!

"The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." -Psalm 126:3
