Singing

Just had to post the girls newest favorite song. They don't always get the words all right, but when it is played in church they swell up with pride because they know the words. It gives Tim and I delight to hear them belt out the words with no bashfulness in sight. Lord we lift your name on high!

Hiking

It was a beautiful, but cold, weekend in Mount Vernon and being that we live about 2 miles from some great hiking, we took the girls on their first "real" hike. Real meaning they walked the whole way without being carried. They called themselves adventures much like Russell from the movie "UP", they even looked around for snipes! I was very impressed and next adventure we will do the whole hike instead of driving half way up:-) The top gave way to excellent views reminding us of our awesome Creator who made things so beautiful that picture don't due it justice.

gadgets

For Christmas the girls got a cake decorating set from Papa and Nana. Baking is something we really enjoy doing together, so while Daddy was busy at work we set to starting our first project. With a slight learning curve (created by me, who knew you needed to read the directions:-) We set about our maiden voyage of cupcake decorating. It was a blast, the decorator is battery operated and had a plethora of attachments to use. Hannah jumped right in and did the first one, Kayla was a little more interested in eating the frosting but she also tried her hand at it. We will be using this fun decorating tool again soon! Thank you Papa and Nana!!!

Breaking the Ice

So . . . . where to begin? I have been a poor mother in making memory books for our children so I thought I would give blogging a shot to capture our memories before they become . . . well, just that . . . only a memory:-) Also to provide our family and friends from far away a glimpse into our life on a daily, weekly or monthly basis (depending how often I get around to posting:-)
I hope this makes me take more pictures, write more descriptions and just plain keep track our adventures!
There . . . post one done . . . . no too painful!
