Lincoln is 6mths/Dedication/Eden is 2

Lincoln is 6 months old today. He is laughing more, moving more and eating more:) He weighs 15 lbs 6ozs and is 26 inches long.

Lincoln was dedicated this past Sunday. Eden joined us on stage.

He received his first Bible.


Lincoln gave Eden this outfit for her B'day. She is such a 'big' girl.

New Projects

These are matching outfits I made for Eden and Lincoln. They are both Gingham fabrics. Instead of doing buttons for the top of Eden's dress I did ribbons so it would look like a pillowcase dress. A friend of mine at the Library lapsit gave me the patterns and I am so grateful for them. I would like to get them monogrammed. I can't wait to make a romper for my little nephew, Eli.

She is officially 2

I still vividly remember holding my precious Eden in my arms for the first time. I didn't realize then how time would go by so fast. She has been such a blessing to our family and we are grateful each day that God has allowed us to be her parents.



Her fun personality showed early on. She is such a joy to be around.




This was her 1 year-old-picture dress and believe it or not, it still fits. She is so petite.



Between then and now she has visited two other countries (Belize and Guatemala); increased her vocabulary to the point where she is now forming sentences; memorized the alphabet, colors and shapes (she even knows how to spell her name); used the potty several times; enjoyed being a big sister and the list goes on. I am so proud of her.



As a family tradition, on the actual birthday, we break out the 'You are special today' plate for breakfast, put a candle in a stack of pancakes, and sing 'Happy Birthday'.





She is our sweet princess and we look forward to seeing her grow up (hopefully not too fast). Thank you Lord for allowing us the privilege of being her parents. We love you, Eden Maeve.

Eden's 2nd Birthday Party

We celebrated Eden's 2nd Birthday Oct 10 at Ben's parents' house. The theme was Princess and Knights and everyone had a great time. We are so blessed to have such sweet friends in Lake Charles. (Sorry about the end of the video. It is not 7 minutes long. This last picture is "Bye bye year 1)
