shiny happy little people

this smile is contagious:

Following her big brother everywhere, Frannie has gotten quite adventurous. Watching her grow and learn is amazing. She's finally getting her 3rd and 4th teeth, and is running around everywhere. Oh, and she's one now. (When was the last time I blogged??)

Here's Tripp with his new umbrella from Nana. I splashed down the street with him, and we rescued earth worms from puddles and put them back in the dirt. I thought I would never get him back in the house.

We stay busy, hence the lack of blogs. Their Daddy has a new job and started last week. We have so many reasons to be proud of him. On to bigger and better things! Considering moving somewhere with a big glorious back yard, if we could find one...

We're overjoyed about having some new twin Lynch cousins. Tripp doesn't quite get the "twin" thing, saying "I'm a twin" and then "Mama and Daddy are twins", but he knows Aunt Jordy has 2 babies in her tummy :)

Last night we were praying for dinner, and Tripp launched into thanking Jesus for things. It went on for awhile, but here are some excerpts: "Thank you Jesus for Frannie, and Tripper, and Mamas, and Daddies, and faces, and biscuits, and trees, and candy, and eyebrows, and biscuits, and shoes, and rolly bugs, and bugs, and cars, and Aunt Alli (she was eating with us), and forks, and biscuits, and..."

What a sweet little reminder to be thankful for all the little things we take for granted. Like eyebrows.

Favorite new quote this week "FAITH makes things possible {*** not easy}"
