Beginning her days of reading

Mommy & Addelyn

What a great weekend, we had a chance to see some of our family and friends and celebrate Easter. Mark and I talked the other night...having a baby has given us a new picture of God's love. After church on Thursday night, Mark said, "Can you imagine sacrificing Addelyn for ANYONE in this world?" The thought actually chokes me up. And that is the love that God has for us...that He gave His only son for us. Pretty amazing love...Wow......It is hard to comprehend. We are so thankful.





Happy Easter to you all.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Addelyn wants to wish you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! (Thanks Ashley for the great bib and shirt!) :) We are having a great Monday. Aunt Jiller is visiting and hanging out tonight and then babysitting Addelyn tomorrow. Fun times! Have a great week!

3 months old!

Our little girl is growing! She is 3 months old today. Crazy how much your life can change in just months. Our love for Addelyn grows every day!

I headed back to work last week. I'll be honest- it was a tough week. I love my job but it was hard to leave Addelyn. I'm adjusting more day by day. Mark and I both are excited at night when we pick her up though...it is so good to see her little smiles. It has been fun, every day we are hearing more noises/cooing from her and seeing more smiles. Today she squealed and surprised us and I think she even surprised herself! :) She has also discovered her hands and we often catch her with a fist in her mouth.

We are still tired and hoping for more nights of more sleep soon but we are doing well and loving life!

New friend, Boaz Bartlett

Our friends Luke and Becky Bartlett had their little boy, Boaz Bartlett, in February. The other night we had the chance to hang out and Addelyn and Boaz reclined in the chairs together! :)

First Trip to Perry, IA

Addelyn took her first overnight road trip last weekend to visit Mark's home town of Perry and see all of the people that have been waiting to meet her. It was quite a fun weekend. Addelyn got to meet her great grandparents, her cousins Jack and Reed, and plenty of other special people at the wonderful shower that Grandma Kathy's friends threw. It was lots of fun. See our pics below!

Ryan Glick (one of Mark's best friends) spends quality time with Addelyn. She doesn't look scared does she?! :)

Addelyn got to meet her cousins, Reed and Jack and their mom, Andrea. They are 8 months old and LOTS of fun!

The wonderful Perry ladies that threw an awesome shower for Addelyn.
