It's great to be 8!

Can't believe our youngest is already 8 years old! Turning eight is a big milestone in our church. It marks the year children can be baptized. Benny was baptized on October 23rd by his daddy. We are so grateful that his Grammy, aunt, uncle, and cousins could join us for his special day!

Those two front teeth were so wiggly and holding on by a thread! They both came out shortly after the baptism.

He always insists on taking a "silly" picture :)

recent reads

This author also wrote All the Light We Cannot See, which I absolutely loved, so I was very excited to read his latest book. Cloud Cuckoo Land is a book that connects 5 characters over hundreds of years through their relationship with a book. This book is beautifully written! I loved every page and didn't want it to end!

I really enjoyed this book! The Midnight Library is a book about choices, regrets, and embracing life. It's a very thought provoking book and helped to remind me of all the things that I have to be grateful for.

I loved this book! The Girl with the Louding Voice is a powerful, unforgetable story about a 14 year old Nigerian girl who dreams of pursuing her education to become a teacher and help other girls. This was one of my top reads this year.
