Elsie's new thing is saying stuff like, "I was just wonderin' if maybe I'm hungry" or "I was just wonderin' if maybe I'd like to talk to Daddy." It's super cute.
On Tuesday, she talked to Daddy after spending the afternoon at the doctor's office. She told him she wanted to go to Target and eat at McDonald's. Being the Daddy that he is, he caved instantly, without hesitation. So, we had McDonald's for dinner and went shopping when Jason got home. At the checkout, Elsie wanted some teddy grahams so we got some for her and gave her a small handful for the ride home. Today, she asked for a snack after lunch so I said, "Just a minute, let me get you a small bowl." She replied, "Well, remember, small bowls are for babies, and I'm a BIG girl!"
Today, Jason and Claira were napping in the recliner. I walked into the living room and noticed that Claira was awake so I said hello to her. Elsie said, "Well, I told Daddy that Claira was awake and Daddy said, 'SSHHH!'"
When Claira babbles, Elsie giggles in response and tells me "how amazin' baby Claira is!"

- I'm a loving, devoted wife and mother of two with a camera. My husband and I have set our lives apart to live for God, and we're raising children who will one day make that same decision for themselves. Hopefully, they'll have a few less bumps along the way! Mainly, I'm enjoying life and all the joy that a toddler and an infant bring to each day.
My Sweet Husband, Jason
This man is evidence that God really pays attention when I pray. It amazes me how well we seem to fit together and balance one another. He's the leader of our home and also a leader in our church and at his workplace. I'm so thankful for him! He's my best friend and a great daddy to our sweet girls.
Our Sweet Elsie
Elsie was born on February 25, 2005 with a cleft soft palate. It was repaired shortly before her first birthday, and she's as good as new! We're very blessed that God has continued to provide healing for her as she hasn't suffered any of the other problems associated with having a cleft. Her favorite things are Fancy Nancy, going to church, her best friend-Lydia, playing her Leapster, and making bracelets.
Our Sweet Claira
Claira was born on October 31, 2007. Her favorite things are nursing, climbing, hiding Mommy's cell phone, her big sister's toys, baby dolls, nilla wafers, and accessories.

Praise to the most high God
