Love her face!
Piper started smiling (and cooing!) over the weekend and I caught a big grin last night!

Piper Ann ❤ 1 month

It's incredible that this sweet little girl has been here with us for a month all ready. She is such a sweet baby, happy and content almost all the time, starting to smile and coo. She is beautiful and we are so blessed to have her in our family.

Levi was helping me and insisted this picture needed to be taken :)

It was a beautiful day here, high 20s! We spent the afternoon on the deck.

Levi's 1st HAIR CUT!!

Yes, you read that right. Levi got his hair cut last weekend! We're so sad to see those gorgeous curls gone, but he loves his "mohawk" (his choice!) and even we have to admit that he looks just as cute, maybe even cuter, with his hair cut.
before - front & back


we saved a curl

AFTER! - front & back

Everyone was shocked at church on Sunday - a bunch of people didn't recognize him, even Lukie!

Talent Show!

Instead of having a musical or play this year (I guess there was noone who would direct/run it?) the kids' school put on a talent show! I'll be honest... we were worried! But it went really well - see for yourself :) The school even brought out a dance instructor from town to teach each classroom a routine!

Isaac's class - hip hop!


Zech's class - hip hop!


Ruth's class - hip hop!


Isaac - songs




Zech - ukeleles



Ruth - song


this isn't our kids, but it's a great idea! and the kids asked me to tape it for them :)

Don't you think they did an awesome job?!!
