The Little Things.....

Our days get so busy and hectic. When I'm ready to pull my hair out, something little always brings me back to the joy these kids bring us. Just last night I went in to tuck Jacob into bed and there he was, fast asleep, hugging the his brand new "baseball" belt and socks. He was beyond excited and thankful to get such a small gift out of nowhere. I am so thankful for those times that make you slow down and appreciate the simplest of things.  The sweet bond between siblings.....or the excitement of climbing a really cool tree : )

Jazz Hands!

So we've always known that Rachel had some serious "moves" when it came to dancing. Apparently her teachers think so too! Rachel was chosen as "Dancer of the Month" at dance class. Only 5 are chosen out of 500 students! She was pretty excited since they gave us a yard sign and giant car magnet to show how proud we are. The verdict is still out on whether we'll continue dance classes after December but for now she's having a blast!
