Heading to the Movies

The kids have been wanting to see "How to Train Your Dragon", it hit the dollar theater a few days ago, so they sweet-talked Papoo and Nana into taking them.  Fun!

disclaimer: The little one with the pigtails did NOT go to the movies, she's way too busy for that.

Abigail's 2nd Birthday

Our littlest one turned 2 years old on Sunday.  It's hard to believe it's already been two years since she was born.  It's been so fun to experience toddlerhood again...she keeps us busy and is never quiet but she has been a joy to us every day!

 Abigail could not take her eyes off of her cake....

and who could blame her?

She blew out both of her candles all by herself.

Abigail loved the set of play food Olivia gave her.

She also enjoyed the pool Maxwell gave her.

The kids were happy to have Ganmamma here.  Abigail calls her "mamma", she's working on the "Gan" part.

Love this.

Happy Birthday America and Our Sweet Abigail!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 2nd Birthday Abigail!

We love you!

Welcome Home Daddy!

It was a long week last week.  Hudson flew 14 hrs to South Korea and then flew to Japan for work.  He had quite the adventure and really enjoyed learning about another culture.  He was very impressed with their way of life and their work ethic.  The kids behaved themselves very well while he was gone and we were all happy when he made it home safely Saturday afternoon.  The kids spent the day getting ready for his arrival home!

 Daddy brought Olivia a fan and a pretty headband from Japan.

 Maxwell got a karate suit!

 Looking at the banner the kids made.

My favorite part of the banner.

We're so happy to have you home daddy!!

Happy Birthday Maxwell!

Our sweet baby boy at one day old.

I came across this sweet video of Maxwell at the age of 3. He was preparing to take his favorite toy to school the next day for show and tell. He loved this space shuttle (complete with boosters and fuel tank).

Maxwell you have been such a joy to us, it's hard to believe you are now 7 years old.  Your sweet, kind spirit is clearly a gift from God.  I've always prayed that you would bring joy to those around you and you seem to do this effortlessly.  We are proud of you for always being a wonderful brother to your sisters (you are going to be an amazing husband and father one day!) and a sweet, compliant son to me and your father.

We love you very much!

This week Olivia and Maxwell attended VBS and had a great time. We are so blessed to be apart of a church that has such a passion for their children's ministry.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
