These are our friends the Price family
They are some of the most genuine and wonderful people we know. Greg is a fellow student out here in Missouri and a few days ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. We are praying for them and hoping for all the best. We hope you will pray for them too - if you want to find out more and ease the burden of this truly awesome family visit here.

jack was in the mood to chill and observe life around him from his blessed fish swing

me and ryan - mmmm turkey burger time

best compliment ever

today I got the best compliment ever! Allow me to set the scene... I was trying to get me and the kiddos and lunch out the door at the same time so everything would be timed just right that we could eat with Ryan, feed Jack and get to our appointment on time - anyway Bel was watching a movie on the couch while I was rushing around like a crazy person. I stopped running to load the diaper bag for a minute and she walked over craned her neck so she was looking up at my face as I leaned over the diaper bag and said, "hi mom - you sure look pretty"

I almost rushed past the moment and then... I melted into a puddle right then and there.
Between my husband and my observant parrot of a daughter - I will think I am pretty forever.

ryan

got a special delivery in the mail today.
that smile makes my heart so happy.

i can't wait for this handsome honey to sing one for me

-he loves to be outside, as long as it's not windy

-he loves his sister, who can always cheer him up (as long as he's not starving or exhausted)
