Eleven Years Old

It's hard to believe this sweet girl is 11 today! She is growing up to be such an amazing young lady, and we are so very proud of her. Audrey is having a great fifth grade year. She was selected to be a Ridges Ambassador (her school's leadership team), and has been doing a great job helping the younger students at school. Audrey played soccer in both the spring and the fall, and is excited to join the swim team in Newberg this coming week. She also had a great first year in 4-H, entering items in clothing, foods, and art. Audrey also competed with a great presentation about turkey hunting, and earned the outstanding junior record book award. She was also super excited to get her vary own rabbit in September! It has definitely been one of the highlights of her year. From learning on-line for most of her 4th grade year, to her first 4-H fair and an amazing 3-week summer road trip, Audrey had had a pretty busy and crazy year. We are excited to see what her 11th year brings, and how God uses her kind and caring spirit to bless others.

Three Years- 6 Months

Hadley Mae was very excited about her half birthday today! She enjoyed donuts and a "coffee" for breakfast, and loved swimming at Audrey's friend party tonight. Hadley is getting pretty good at writing her first name and can recognize her numbers 1-8 (9 and 10 are still a little tricky once in a while). She is still sharing a bunk bed with Audrey, but she does sleep through the night and falls asleep on her own now! Her favorite foods right now are yogurt, warm chocolate milk, French fries, and PB&J sandwiches. Hadley is getting very excited for Christmas and even went to see Santa without any tears this year! Her smile lights up the room and she keeps us laughing all day long. We sure do love this sweet girl.
