Look Who's Six!

Six years ago, the Lord granted me a special prize. As a mother of three boys, I so wanted to add a little pink to our household. Emory Reagan has certainly added her share of pink  . . . and purple too! She is such a gift. Our sweet princess, a little rotten, but precious nonetheless. I am so grateful to be her mom.

The last couple of months have been hard on Em. Learning to share her role as the youngest and the only girl has been tough, but she has been so willing to share her tiara!!! She is an excellent big sister, and we couldn't be prouder of the way she has instantly bonded with Lexi.

Yesterday, we celebrated Emmie turning six with a family trip to the American Girl Doll store.  (Yes, we made the boys go too!).


This is the newest American Girl, Saige.

Emmie chose these sunglasses because she said they looked just like mine :)! She's definitely my girl!
The girls enjoyed a little ride in a street car at the mall.


What's a birthday without cheesecake?

My Fave Five!



 Happy birthday, sweet girl! We love you to the moon and back and to the moon and back again!

Happy Two Months, Sweet Girl!

Two months ago today, Wayne and I officially became the parents of this sweet girl. Looking back, we can see how sad . . . confused . . . heartbroken she was. It still hurts us to consider how scared she must have been. This is Lexi on that first day.

Notice the many layers of clothes and the eyes filled with tears.


Here she is a couple of days later. No longer crying but still sad. No smiles.


And here she is . . . two months later! Notice her pig tail. She insisted.

We are still in awe of what the Lord has done and what He is continuing to do. Lexi is a PERFECT fit! At two months, she seems completely at home. She loves to play with her sister, watch Dora, and blow bubbles. She talks and sings all. the. time. She is oh so happy, and we are too! Happy Two Months, Lexi!
