Double Digits

E turned 10 this year!
(p.s. Yes, no need to point out how late this is.  This is my scrapbook...and honestly, there just hasn't been much time to scrapbook these past few months :)
Yes, 10!  We are officially parents to a 10 year old.
It is nearly impossible to believe how quickly these 10 years have gone.
I'm a sap...and realizations like this really hurt my heart.
While my dreams and hopes for my children are HUGE, and I'm giddy with anticipation about what amazing little people they continue to become...I want them to stay little.
I know
I know
It ain't going to happen.

So sappiness aside
Check out this gorgeous, spunky, confident, intelligent 10 year old.
She is seriously a Godsend to me.  She is the best, most-committed big sister on this planet.  I pretty sure some days G thinks she is his mother.  She's nurturing and caring; hilarious and spirited; She's PERFECT!
Happy 10th Birthday Sweet Girl!

Giggles

Nothing is more therapeutic for the soul than baby giggles

God is Good.

In late September, Ed and I had the honor of being able to baptise both EIV and G at a very special church, by a very special priest.
We all were surrounded by family and love.
It was pretty awesome. 
Our boys were ceremoniously welcomed into God's family and both are blessed with loving Godparents.

That day I was especially reminded what wonderful gifts from God that our children are and how blessed we are to have such an amazing family.

Two baseballs and a smile.
