Trying again

I have decided to get back into writing. Life has changed so much lately that I am not even sure where to begin. This past summer we were given the wonderful opportunity to move into a much larger home. We had been at our previous home for 11 years. With 6 children and hopes for more, it has been such a blessing to have so much more room! I love it here! This month my baby turns a year old. So hard to believe. He has bright red hair and big blue eyes. OH, he melts my heart. Garrett is becoming very 2ish...his favorite phrase is "I do it myself!" He has so quickly transformed from a toddler to a little boy. Hallie will be 4 soon, and boy has it been a joy! She is slowly coming out of her difficult stage and becoming a fun little girl! She is doing so well that I don't make her nap much anymore because it helps her to fall asleep faster at night. (She used to really struggle falling asleep...wouldn't lie still for a moment!) Makenna is 5 going on 13...or at least she thinks so. She wants to be big so bad. She and Hallie have recently started gymnastics and are loving it! Brenden and Katelyn are both growing up very quickly. They are a huge help to me. My oldest three are doing well in their schoolwork, and they all participate in quizzing at church. Josh is keeping busy at work and the church. He loves being a youth pastor, and we are both so thankful for our church family. Well, there is an update. Next time I will add pictures!
