A Busy Year
I realize that I do this all the time. I post on my blog and then go months without posting. I promise one day posting will become a regular task. This year has been full of so many blessings. There is never a dull moment in our household. With 2 girls there is always something going on.
Graci is in the middle of her Kindergarten year. Her teacher says that she is a "Leader" in the classroom. Adam and I are so proud of her. She has made some sweet friends this year. She loves to read and loves to draw. She is a perfectionist (not me at all) and always wants to do her best on her work. It has been hard going back to work and leaving Mattie Ruth but being able to go to school with Graci everyday has been the best!! On my rough days I will see her in the hall and she will get out of line and give me the biggest hug and smile. Nothing like a hug from your daughter to make a rough day at work better. We are praying that she continues to love school and build strong friendships.
Mattie Ruth will be 6 months old Jan. 1st. She is getting so big so fast. She has discovered her voices and loves to talk to us through screaming. She has the cutest laugh and laughs the hardest when her sister is being silly. She is rolling over and scoots on her back when she wants to get somewhere. We thing she will be crawling soon. She has just about figured out how to set-up. She can do it by herself for about 20secs. then looses her balance. But for those 20 secs she feels as big as Graci. We have been very blessed that Mattie is a happy baby. She does not fuss unless she is sleepy or hungry. We are looking forward to many years of watching both girls grow and and change.

Mattie Ruth, Kindergarten, and are family
Well summer is over and school days have started!! I can not believe how much time has flown by. July 1st our Mattie Ruth was born! Things have not been the same since. Even the lack of sleep has not changed the fact that we are so thankful to have her in our family now. My favorite part about Mattie Ruth is seeing Graci with her. She absolutely loves her little sister and we could not be even more proud of Graci. She is the best big sister ever. Mattie is always going to be taken care of by her big sis! Mattie is 6 weeks old now and growing and changing everyday. She weighed 6lbs 8ozs when she was born and is well over 8lbs now. She smiling so much. It melts our hearts and we just sit and look at her thinking "God is amazing."
Graci has started kindergarten. She goes to Joyner and has the best teacher. She has just completed her first week of school. With 2 falls. hurt knees, and some tears we are still loving school. She gets up every morning ready to go. I am so blessed for that. When I dropped her off the first day I was prepared for some hesitation but she walked in her room put her back pack up and never looked back. We are looking forward to a great year of making new friends and learning new things.
