Alexis turned 1

Today was pretty amazing. Our little Alexis turned 1! It has been difficult and miraculous to think back to a year ago today. It is one day that I do not want to relive as I laid there wondering if I would ever bring my little girl home but I learned how to completely trust in the Lord. I will never forget the day that I got to hold her for the first time and the day she came off all her breathing machines, and the day we got to bring her home or the day Kylee said, "I love my little sister." We are so thankful for our little Alexis and again want to thank our family and friends for all of your help this past year. I know prayers really are answered. Enjoy our little video which is the beginning of Lexi's journey here on earth so far......(thanks Dad for the perfect song...I love you!) Thank you Alexis for all you have taught me and for being quite the fighter.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everybody! We had a great weekend with my parents and sister Heather. The girls sure enjoyed finding eggs and their baskets this morning. Heather and Kylee did just great together finding eggs and it was just neat to watch. Alexis had a blast grabbing at every egg Kylee tried to open. We enjoyed coloring eggs of course and love all the events Hershey has to offer including one of their community easter egg hunts for the kids. We hope you all had an awesome day!

Check out the "Bunny Cake" Grandma and Kylee loved making together. It was so darling and I'm glad Grandma's are filled with these fun ideas. Kylee thought it was the coolest thing.

A Year Ago Today!

We have been reflecting a lot lately on all that went on a year ago. A year ago today exactly I was checked into the hospital for 24 hr. surveillance with no idea that I would be having Alexis just 2 days later. It was one crazy emotional roller coaster and I am just thankful to be home with my family this Easter weekend with 2 healthy daughters. We are extremely thankful for all the prayers and thoughts offered in our behalf throughout the last year. We know the Lord is incharge and watching every step.

An Unforgetable Month

 We really felt like we were in paradise for the month. From beach everyday, snorkeling, seaglass, great food, tons of awesome visitors, lizards, the famous gecko, animal Safari, and the "Ritz just being the "Ritz"!!!

We are Back!

Our 5 weeks in Florida are up. Many of you wondered if it would ever get old and the answer is no. The girls were ready to get home to their own beds but leaving paradise is always hard. Skylar and I don't think we could ever get sick of seeing the ocean and being by the beach. We had an awesome time and sure enjoyed all of our company. We are enjoying our tans and adjusting back to the cold! Here are a few pic. from the trip and I hope to put a little montage together soon.
