Taylor's Baptism

Today we had Taylor baptized at our church. It was a perfect day and such a blessing to see her welcomed into our church family. I love baptisms and what they represent. I know that Taylor has no idea what went on today but it will be our responsibility to teach her what it means and how to live a good Christian life. We are lucky because we have such a wonderful support system of family and friends to support us on this journey. Taylor was baptized in the same gown that Natalie wore. My mom sewed a baptism gown from my grandma's wedding dress. Taylor looked just as beautiful in it as Natalie did four years ago! Here's a picture of all five us:

So today made me sentimental so I thought I would post pictures from the baptisms of our other two...it's fun to see how everyone has changed!

An amazing day with wonderful family and perfect weather. Amen.

Long Time No Post

It's been a busy couple of months since our last post. The biggest thing is that we moved into a new house and that in itself was a big under taking with three little ones in tow. We are still getting settled but we've made really good progress. Our old house sold in one day which was a mixed blessing because we only had to get the house ready for viewing once but then we were scrambling to find a new place. The kids love the new house as they each have their own room. I should say that Natalie is thrilled that she can have a place that Justin can't get into. Justin on the other hand is struggling a bit being by himself. He tends to wake up REALLY early and has become a fixture in our bed. Taylor has her own set of sleep issues and who knows if it has anything to do with the move.

We celebrated Halloween a few different times. Natalie and Justin had their Halloween Parade at their preschool. They make their own costumes so Natalie was a Fire Chief and Justin was a Little Pumpkin. We hit the church party and the kids had fun with crafts and games. Then it was the official Trick-or-Treating in the new neighborhood. Natalie was Belle, Justin was a cowboy and Taylor was a ladybug. Here are some Halloween pictures:

Here are a few cute and random pictures of the kiddos:

Can you tell they are all related?

I don't know why this cracks me up...but it does.

Natalie won.

Now that we are settled we will try to keep this updated a little better. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
