Audrey's Birthday Celebrations

Early birthday lunch at school (Audrey picked Subway, in the van, in the parking lot of the school 😂). We celebrated early because there was no school on her birthday, but the day we picked was her friend Kacie's actual birthday, so she joined us for birthday lunch too!

Twelve Years Old

 It's hard to imagine that our baby girl is 12 today! Where has the time gone. Audrey is growing up to be such a kind and responsible young lady. She is loving middle school and is doing an amazing job in school. She has needed very little support or direction from us, and we are so very proud of how hard she is working at school. Audrey still loves playing soccer, swimming and drawing. She's really into sea turtles right now and also enjoys watching YouTube and reading graphic novels. Audrey helps at Teacher Carol's after school four days a week and is excited to start babysitting soon! Her 4-H projects are going well and she was excited to get her very own Guinea Pig this month. We know that this sweet girl will do amazing things in the future and we can't wait to be along for the ride. We are so very proud of her and we love her more than she will ever know.

Four Years- 6 Months

 Our Hadley Mae is 4 1/2 today! She is growing up way too fast! Hadley is loving PreK and asks every week how long she has to wait to go to kindergarten. She loves swimming, drawing, dancing, riding her scooter, playing with dolls, watching Disney+ and singing. Hadley also loves going on "trips" and is always excited for our next camping or family adventure. It has been fun to watch her get good at "writing" and she loves to copy words and "write" us messages. Hadley's favorite foods right now are PB&J, cheese, yogurt, chocolate milk, plain noodles and suckers. We are excited to see all that Hadley accomplishes in PreK this year and we look forward to watching all her adventures as she grows. We are so blessed to be her parents.
