Time Flies

What a difference a year makes. What a difference a year makes. One year ago lil' Ahnya was a baby...getting teeth, learning to crawl, trying new foods, adapting to her new environment, and completely dependent on us! Now, our Ahnya is a strong, active, busy, very loving, beautiful toddler who is dependent and keeping our family BUSY! She goes, goes, and goes! We are blessed and cherish our 3 little girls!

Welcome Fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this brightens your day! How can it not with this goofy smile!

September already!


Time DOES fly by so fast. September is HERE and September in Minnesota is wonderful this time of year. My favorite time of the year to be exact! Beautiful fall weather, cool evenings, bond fires and smores, and the changing of the leaves are thrilling and fun!
Ahnya continues to grow and change everyday. I am so thankful to be able to be home with the girls and be apart of their ever changing lives. I have the best job in the world! Thank you God!
Happy Fall everyone!
