Beth and Matt

I took this these morning. I love them because I feel like I can just look at them and see how the kids are growing and learning. Matt used to just cry when his tower fell down, but today he figured out that he can build it taller if he makes a base first.






Beth didn't use a base, but she made a pattern.





Then she realized she could get hers to stand up by leaning it against Matt's more stable tower.



Then they both worked together to build one as tall as they could reach.

The kids are growing up!

Carrie turned one yesterday! Wow, what an amzing year it has been. She is such a sweet baby, and we are so thankful to have her as part of our family. She loved her chocolate cake, as you can see!
