happy new year!







I can't believe we are almost finished with January- time flies when you are having fun.... We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids were at perfect ages to really have fun and celebrate. It was an amazing thing to be able to watch them together. Thankfully I was able to spend a lot of time with them during the holidays.

On January 12th Finn turned 4! I can't believe he is sooo big. We had a great time celebrating at GO with a few of his friends and our family. We welcomed new nephew Henry LaGalle "Hank" Fortner into the world about the same time. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Mac is almost 9 months old. This last week he cut 2 bottom teeth, started standing on his own and is pulling up on everything. We think that he will soon progress straight to a walk from his inch worm crawl.

Sarah Ryann is still loving school, ballet and horseback riding. I am so proud of her. She is an incredible big sister to these little boys- so patient and kind... well, most of the time, anyway.

Dan is busy chasing after the kids during the day, and trying to keep everyone and everything straight.... an incredibly difficult job, and he is doing it wonderfully.... although we could use a few new one-pot meal recipes if anyone has any. I am busy with the kids, working, and trying to find time to read and ride when I can. The Lord has truly blessed us, and we are so thankful.
