I love how she holds her roasting stick!!

Home One Year!!

One year ago today I held our daughter Lottie for the very first time!! She was so scared and sad. My heart broke watching the fear in her eyes. She has brought us so much JOY!! We are so blessed to have her in our family! Thank you God for this little treasure!!

Family Hikes

We have been on some fun family hikes and have been enjoying the beautiful fall colors.

We have been having fun times with our cousins too. We found this BIG tree and made the kids do this picture. The big kids don't really like their picture taken anymore.

Our happy girls!! On a walk at Mt. Rainier.
