God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Lilly's First Haircut

This January has been a snowy and cold month.  In the midst of cancelled school days, shoveling, building snowmen, and trying to keep two stir crazy kids occupied, we ventured out to fulfill another 'first' for Lilly.  Lilly's hair has grown so much since we got her last May.  I have been trimming it, especially over her eyes.  However, it was time to let a professional even it out.  Liam needed a trim as well.  Liam was sweet enough to go first, so Lilly could see what was going to happen and know that it was alright.  Liam talked Emily's ear off the whole time.  Both kids behaved very well and enjoyed getting their hair cut.  Lilly felt very pretty afterwards and was especially thrilled to have a sucker.  She hasn't had many of them since they were impossible to eat with her cleft palate.

For reference - Lilly's head was shaved the day before we got her (May 27th)

Lilly woke up from her nap right before we went to the salon, so she had bed head.





Liam didn't like it spiked up.  He wanted it smoothed down like Dad's.  Emily put gel in it, which made Liam happy.  He felt like such a big boy.




Big brother Liam kept Lilly entertained
