Glorious Make-over

I've been blogging now for over 4 years.  I love it, truly I do.  I have wanted to change things for some time, but never had the desire to dive into such a project until now.  So, I am telling you this to tell you that things are going to look very weird for some time, but hang in there...hopefully the finished project will be well worth the time!

Other than Madelyn cutting her hair at school, Catharine turning 4, me approaching my (gasp) 30th birthday (woo hoo!) and Elizabeth NOT sleeping through the night like a newborn, things are going the same...so, I'll leave it at that and update you more when the blog is finished with its glorious make-over!

Much love to all!

To keep it short at sweet, this lil' girl has loved our socks off.  She is tender hearted and full of love, smart, smart, smart, spicy and passionate.  We are more than thankful for this beautiful girl and all that she brings to our lives.

How her day went today...

She was blessed to spend her birthday with her Momma, Daddy, Madelyn, Elizabeth, Mema, Nana, and Pop---as well as friends at MOPS!

She crawled in bed beside me at 6 am and I whispered the happy birthday song in her ear

She and Madelyn ate fruit pizza for breakfast and then she opened a present from Nana and Pop

I took her and Elizabeth to MOPS in Columbus, then afterwards to Dollar Tree to pick out a balloon and some little treats, and ended with McDonald's with MOPS friends for lunch

After Madelyn got home from school we had a party where she opened her presents blew out a candle and didn't even eat a cupcake!  She loved her new purse that Nana picked out and just wanted to fill it up and carry it around!

Dinner was her choice, pizza from Pizza Hut!

Then a movie and bed

It was a good day.

We love you, sweet Catharine.  You will always be our miracle baby girl.  Happy birthday!

PS...Mema, you rock at making cupcakes!  Thank you so much for taking the pressure of baking off of my shoulders!  We love you!!

She is a crazy girl these days!

Nana teaching the kids how to play a game, she rocks.

Mema's cupcakes!

Blowing out candles for 3 birthdays---there should have been 55 candles all together!!!   

Katie.  Why aren't you smiling like a normal person?!!  Fun times when we're all together.

The little ones, Elizabeth loves Lorali so much.

It seems to be a difficult task to get all of the grands in the same photo, but it is worth the trouble :)

All the January birthday girls!  Sweet Lorali turns 1 on the 26th.

Turning 4 this month!

Both Elizabeths :)

Nana opening a birthday gift, don't tell anyone her birthday is TODAY!
