Who would have thought...

that 7 years ago.. we would see a daughter who we did not know at the time, reading bedtime stories to her 2 youngest sisters...I just can't believe how fast time goes & how special they are to each other.

(The pictures are grainy b/c I didn't use the flash)

There are so many things sweet about these pictures... but one of the cutest things (I think) is that Lydia is feeding her baby a bottle too :) She seems so big & little all at the same time...

I said it on our Christmas card and it is still the best description we've got to describe our lives right now... We find ourselves busier than we could have imagined, though we would not have it any other way. We are amazed at our blessings and count them every day. And that, we do.
