rub-a-dub-dub...

...three precious girls in the tub. 

and our christmas break is quickly coming to an end. 

we are trading our lazy mornings for our every second counts, waking up before the sun, rushing out the door kinda mornings.

we do everything we can around here to help out with the morning insanity. yes insanity.

hello evening bath time!

it's a skinnies and tom's kinda day. thank you grandma♥

{bff's}

ella experienced a first last night...a sleepover!
i will not lie, i had a hard time sleeping last night. not because i was worried about her, but because it's another sign that she is growing.
her and elee had the best time ever...staying up till 11, playing games, & eating pancakes.
my favorite part about the whole experience was finding out that after being put to bed they each took turns praying, just the two of them.
it is such a joy to see ella enjoying the blessings of having a friend. they are two peas in a pod.

happy 2013!

happy new year!!

2012 was an amazing year. 

we look ahead to 2013 and what God has in store for us. 

Heavenly Father may you be ever present in our lives. Guide us and fill us with your spirit so that we might glorify you in all that we do. May we shine your light and love each and every day and may our lives being a living testimony of your grace and mercy. Give us a spirit of boldness so that we can walk by faith each day trusting in your perfect love. Place your protection around us and our loved ones. Help us to rejoice and give thanks in all things and to pray continuously and in complete faith. We commit this next year to you and look forward with joyful hearts for all the ways you are going to use us. We love you. In your precious and Holy name....amen♥
