The good news is that I can include a lot more pictures this way, so I prepared a little slideshow of each of the kiddos over 2007. It was so fun remembering all the little things they've done and seeing how they've grown throughout the year. Hopefully, they won't take all of 2008 to load for you!
First up, Gracie. She's 4 AND A HALF now, still loving preschool at Fraser, and also taking a dance class on Wednesday nights. She just adores William (and sometimes Amelia), drawing, horses, unicorns, and anything pink, purple and/or sparkly.
Next up is Amelia. Oh my, does she love to experience life, which is my nice way of saying if there is a mess, Amee is definitely in it somewhere. So sweet, still cuddly, still singing, still covered in flour/glitter/mud/soap and anything else that will stick.
Finally, our sweet William. Already almost 7 months old! He's a smiley, jumpy, mama-loving boy. He's a talker too, and with such a deep voice! Not crawling yet, but that's okay by me. It's quite enough work keeping him safe as it is. He's our big boy, too. Already over 20 pounds!
As for Matt, he keeps busy with work, reading, playing with Gordie and the kids. And me? Always busy with those kiddos, and trying hard to appreciate all the good parts even as I try to keep Grace from antagonizing Amelia, Amelia from taking a "flour shower" in the kitchen ("It's like snow!"), and William from eating barbie shoes or dog food. I have found a creative outlet in sewing this year, and feel like showing off, so here's a slideshow of a few of the things I've done (mostly gifts, since I'm not good about taking pictures of most things).
We wish you all the best this coming year!
Much love,
Christy, Matt, Gracie, Amee, and Liam
