What a special weekend celebrating Laila's baptism and Dahlia's heart transplant anniversary. Five years ago, on January 28th, Dahlia received the gift of a new heart. I love the tradition of releasing balloons for the sweet angel in heaven who gave Dahlia this gift.
Love spending my days with these two! Don't know what we'll do when Lorelei goes to kindergarten this fall. She is such a good big sister!
These photos were taken after church last week. Ben insisted on wearing the hat for the photo, and of course wanted big sister to wear one too ;)
Kyla started cross country in December. She came in 6th place at her first meet, and finished up 5th at the next couple of races. At her most recent meet, she came in 3rd out of over 200 girls! We are so proud of her!
our girls are so lucky to have grandparents that live so close and come to all their meets to cheer them on!
Emily's baby Evelyn was blessed in December. She is just the sweetest baby! So happy we were able to be there for her special day.

Baby Hugh looked so handsome in his shirt and tie
a quick photo of us on Christmas day after church. My goal this new year is to take more family photos. It is rare for us all to be in a photo together. I'm usually always behind the camera.
grammy and grandpa treated us to a wonderful day at the zoo a few days after Christmas. It was the perfect day for the zoo with temperatures in the upper 70s.
We love the zoo!
