Feliz Cumpleanos Olivia!

Happy Birthday Olivia Bear! 

Olivia is 7. 

Yes, it's crazy. 

Yes, time has flown by. 

Yes, I feel old. 

But, yes. I feel blessed to have a happy,  healthy 7 year old in our home. 

Here is a video of her blowing out her candles yesterday! We started this new tradition of getting breakest donuts for breakfast on your birthday, and this year, Daddy was on the phone singing 'Happy Birthday', because he was on his way out to Denver for fellowship interviews. That's why, I sing so delayed, because I was trying to match the Steve's rhythm on the phone, but it didn't really work.

In any event. just mute the video and watch the cute Olivia blow out her birthday candles!

Family Photos: Christmas Cards

Family Photos

This past year was a toughie for our family. 

2013 will not be missed, but I will take the lessons from that year with me! 

But we did get something cool out of our year! We got family photos for the first time in 3 years! And when I see these pictures i feel so lucky. 

I feel grateful for my little family. 

I feel grateful for the health of my kids, for their smile and for their sweet love. 

Grateful for a dedicated husband who finishes what he starts. 

I'm so grateful to have my eyes open to appreciate these fleeting moments.

Lastly,  I'm even grateful for my new 'curves' that I finally grew after many, many years of being way too skinny. 

Just grateful.
