Happy 1st Porter

Our baby boy turned 1. I can't believe it! So much has happened in the last year, yet I can't believe it's been a year since he joined our family. Porter is still quite easy going, but his personality is definitely starting to manifest itself. He LOVES his momma, which I love! He gets a kick out of receiving attention from his siblings and he loves to stand at the front window and watch for dogs to walk by. He isn't quite walking yet, but it seems that he probably will be soon. Porter is very inquisitive, and likes to be involved. We sure love our little man!!

Happy 5th Reese

Reese is the most mature 5 year old I've ever known. She makes friends easily, can do pretty much anything there is to do (help cook, do dishes, help get her brothers ready, write her letters, read quite well), and she is truly thoughtful and considerate. She is a smarty pants! We sure love our Reesey girl (she writes it as "Reese C") :). I feel so blessed to have a daughter. I see so much of my younger self in her, which helps me figure out how I might best parent her. She is a really good girl! We sure do LOVE you Reese!
