Merry Christmas

                               

I'm not just a bad {cell phone} photographer - trying to crop out our precious extra babies. ;-) Merry Christmas - Emmanuel!

Nashville's Nutcracker

A sweet person {whom we had met once} gave the girls and I tickets to Nashville's Nutcracker along with money to valet park and get snacks at intermission. At a time when I was feeling discouraged (by DCS dealings), this was an especially amazing gift. What a surprise it all was!

Speaking of surprises...

Jon left each of us a rose in our car seat. :) Thanks for those and for hanging with the other three kiddos on a night you're usually working, Love!

Little mommy :)

Words can't express how rare {and wonderful} this is! Progress, D, progress!
Annnnd he just threw the book across the room before I could even finish typing...

Happy 7th birthday, Eli!!! We love you {xoxoxo}!
Eli followed clues to find where his new Lego sets were hidden. :) He's already been working away!
