Happy Birthday Violet!

Photo collage of Violet in the shape of the Chinese character for five.

You’ve stepped it up this year Vi! With Kadie gone to kindergarten, you took care of your little brother and helped mommy around the house. You bring the gift of laughter into our house with your silly antics and tall tales.

Happy 2nd Birthday Bruce!

Bruce's 2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Bruce! You make us laugh every day with your contagious smile, and it’s such a joy to discover life through your eyes.

Here is Jenni’s latest masterpiece video. I’m so thankful she puts together a video to summarize each child’s year. The second year for each of our kids have been the most magical and most difficult to edit.
