It is Fall!

So far this fall in Nebraska has actually felt like fall. No snow yet. Leaves are changing color and beginning to fall. I love this time of year the best. We were able to enjoy the pumpkin patch again this year and we got to go trick-or-treating without having to bundle up over our costumes!

She was so excited to see Herbie.

So. Much. Drool!

Mirabel's Dedication

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Mirabel's dedication at church. So much of our family was able to come and celebrate with us. We are so thankful for all of our family and friends in our life who help to shape us into the people and parents God has made us to be. Our continued prayer is for our girls to one day come to a place in their lives where they will know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him as their God and Savior. I'm thankful also for our church who supports us in that important journey.

Mirabel - 4 Months

I wish this baby girl would smile her wide-mouthed smile at the camera. It's pretty adorable. 

You are such a sweet baby, my Mirabel. At 4 months old, you are really starting to jabber. You are enjoying being able to hold on and play with toys. They always go straight to your mouth and you get very frustrated when the don't reach. You love tummy-time, something your big sister just hated. In fact, after your bath when you are bare-bottomed on your tummy, you try so hard to crawl already. You love your big sister so much. You immediately turn to her when you hear her enter a room. And your big sister adores you. I love seeing the start of this bond you two are making. You are hit or miss when it comes to nursing. You almost always just want to get it done as fast as possible. No cuddling or lingering, which usually is pretty handy having to keep up with your sister. But I so wish at nighttime, you'd relax with Mommy and drift off to sleep as I nurse you. I'll keep praying for that...

You are a joy Miss Mirabel, and are so loved. 

We thank God for the gift of you.
