Our little girl is now 3 years old!!

It's so hard to believe that three years ago yesterday, at 11:58pm, we frist met our beautiful, little girl, Morganne.  It's crazy how fast the years have gone.  I hate the fact that I can't remember every little detail of her growing up and thinking that time is only going to go faster as she gets older.  We have been so blessed by our now, big girl.  She makes us laugh and smile every day.  She comes up with the funniest sayings and has a huge imagination!  She is very soft hearted and empathetic towards others.  She has become a wonderful big sister. Wow, I still can't believe she's three.  It sounds so old....
One year old


Two years old

The most recent, good picture I have.  I will post more soon!
We love you Morganne Marie!!!

Belated acknowledgement :cP

A couple major mile stones have happened recently that I have failed to blog about.  Mile stones that definitely deserve recognition.  I will blame the lack of reporting to having two young kids and not much computer time, and also, unfortunately, a lack of time and money to do anything special for these mile stones.  The first major thing that has happened recently is that about a month ago Kaelynn started totally crawling.  She had been going in reverse for a couple months prior to this but finally figured out the forward direction.  (Two weeks shy of Morganne's crawling age.)  Now, nothing is safe and Morganne is realizing that an almost 1 year old sister that is constantly trying to "do" whatever she is doing, can be really annoying!  We've had our first "sister scuffles", with mostly Kaelynn instigating them.  She is going to be an ornery one!! 
The second major mile stone recently, literally the same weekend that Kaelynn began crawling, was that my best friend and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on January 21st.  It was spent driving 8 hours to Iowa for the Grant Christmas.  On one hand it was awesome actually getting to spend the whole day with him, on the other it was kind of a bummer not getting to do anything special.  But, then again, we haven't done anything special for our anniversary, birthdays, v-day, or anything really since we got married.  That's our goal for the next year....  After 5 years so much has changed and God has blessed us immensely.  Justin is still my best friend, and still makes me smile and feel special everyday.  I couldn't ask God for a better husband or father to my beautiful girls. 
Thanks for reading.  I had to back-track and make mention to these two very important mile stones for our family.  I hope you all have a wonderful week!
