May Days

I feel like I haven't written about the girls or show photos of them lately. Life has been just GO GO GO ever since we got back from our trip.  I just want a post with a bunch of photos, is that ok? Thanks

This last weekend, was crazy, dance recitals, child dedications, Norah's birthday party, mothers day, parents leaving, and me sick the whole time, oh well.

Maya's recital was so cute and fun!

so serious

So proud of our big girl

Papa & Yami Loved it

papa & yami gave Maya a new necklace

  We dedicated both Norah and Sarah to the Lord this past weekend, something we feel is important for all of children, to give them fully to the Lord, to be guided by him and to have the Lord guide us as parents.  We chose a life verse for both of the girls.

Jos 1:9
⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

Phil 4:4-7 ⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Our little family of 5

still hard to believe this little bug belongs to our family. We love her

We also had a small family birthday party for Norah. I made an executive decision that the girls will get a big birthday party on their even birthdays (2,4,6 etc). So for Norah this year it was a small one.

I found the idea for these cupcakes on this site

I couldn't resist getting her a princess ballerina dress. (Norah doesn't like clothes unless they spin)

Cutie

Painting grammy's toes

and papa's....

and the best part for Norah, the cupcake

My little almost 3 year old, I can't believe it!  Carrisa would have just loved and adored you so much. You are a treasure.

And we celebrate mothers day
