Early Christmas Present

The mail has been super SLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWW with this deployment.  I know that Chris gets to check the blog every now and then so I am going to post an early present for him since there is no way these prints are going to get to him in time for Christmas. 

 

I love you so much and am so very proud of you, Chris.  Almost half way done.  Woohoo. 

 

 

 

 



Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!

 

Four years old!!! 

I blinked and here we are with a beautiful, sassy, sweet, hilarious, birthday girl. Missing Daddy on her special day, but having wonderful friends and neighbors help us celebrate cheered everyone up. 

She opened her pile of presents first thing that morning.  Loved all the loot from Mommy, Daddy, Luke, Hayley, Grammy, Big D, Mimi and Papa! 

 

 

We seriously ordered the biggest cake ever!  Inviting our entire street over as well as some other very close friends calls for a lot of cake. A party in the drive way on a Sunday afternoon was perfect.  Kids played, parents chatted, and cake was served.  Doesn't get much better!

Hannah was most excited about the Tinkerbell toy in the middle of the cake.

 

 

Best big brother and sister in the world helped serve lemonade to all of our guests.

Hannah's face in this picture pretty much sums up the day!  Joy! 

We love you to the moon and back, sweet Hannah Beth.  Happy 4th Birthday to our baby.

2nd Place Finish

 

Another soccer season has come to a close.  Luke's team ended up coming in 2nd place at the tournament for this year.  He has grown so much this season.  His speed and coordination are catching up to each other and it makes for a great soccer player.  I am so proud of how much progress he has made as a team player.  He gives it 110% every time he is out on the field.  The sheer amount of running that he has to do each practice and game wears me out just thinking about it.  He never gives up and does not let the ball get past him when he is playing defense.  He is all heart and it shows to his teammates and other teams that they play.

Awesome season, Luke. 

So very proud of you!!!!!
