answered prayer

I'll have to say (and I think the munchkins will agree with me) that the best part of moving is what came with the house: perfect neighbors.  We couldn't have asked for a better family to have across the street.   I love when God places an unexpected but wonderful gift in your lap. What a blessing, joy, and privilege it is that we are the answer to a prayer lifted up by this sweet family.  

Many, many more memories like this are to follow, I'm sure.  And many, many, many, more pictures as well!

good leader

The girls and I are so blessed.

 He loves us and shows it in so many ways. 

 He is always thinking about our future and is always three steps ahead. 

I am so thankful for him.

The girls don't know how blessed they are to call him daddy.
