Home Sweet Home!

Idaho is my home now, but Virginia will always be home to me too. I had the opportunity to visit there for Spring Break with Donevan and all the kids. It was so wonderful. We had such a fun time. We went to celebrate my amazing father's 70th birthday.

I love visiting home. The smells, the streets, the restaurants, the traffic, the malls,the schools, the friends, and family....they all bring back memories of my childhood. I had an amazing childhood....not a care in the world as the youngest child of 5. I was everyones little sister and a daddy's girl for sure! I feel lucky to have lived in the same house my entire childhood until the day I left for college. And I feel lucky to be able to return to that same home when I get to visit my parents now. There are so many memories and fun times within the walls of that home and they all come flooding back everytime I enter it.

Now, returning with 5 children of my own into the home I grew up in means the world to me. I love that my own children are able to have a glimpse of my childhood! I hope I can make theirs as wonderful as my own!!!

Emma's Birthday

In November, Emma turned 1. She's my baby and it makes me so sad because the first year of her life flew by. She is the sweetest little thing. We love her like crazy and have so much fun with her. It's been fun to see her personality develop. She's happy all the time...and the best sleeper. Love you sweet Emmie!
