While I was brushing my teeth one night this week, Noelle went and got a book and a blanket and decided to read Anna Kate a bedtime story all on her own – sweet big sister!

Anna Kate was really paying attention to all big sissy had to say.

Big Phil and Stephanie stopped by to share a meal with us – we’ve had such wonderful help from our church and Mops friends with food – it’s been amazing!!!  The middle pic is Noelle playing dress up after dance class.  Now that winter’s over, she’s crazy about her winter accessories!

I love this sweet picture of Stephanie with both of our little girls!

SO sweet and SO sassy!

Every time I take a picture of Anna Kate, it always reminds me of a pic we have of Noelle… I just love to compare because they resemble each other so much!

*I love the way our homemade (I mean "boutique") onesies look on Anna Kate!!!

Remember this flower?  Probably not, let me tell you all about it…

 

So the story is as follows… after growing this flower in Dec. 07, I planted the bulb of this amaryllis in the corner of our backyard.  I totally forgot about it, and about a month ago, I spotted some pretty shiny green leaves in that corner.  I dug up the plant (not knowing what is was – I actually thought it was an orchid I had done the same thing with), repotted it, and it turned out to be the amaryllis from ’07… resilient little flower!  It has really brightened our days and filled them with excitement and anticipation!  Noelle loves her plant and waters it everyday – a cool little gift from God!
