Happy New Year Take Two!

Our New Year has started off with a cautious bang. Love the pic below, MK has her bunny safety blanket in hand for the uncertainties that are sure to come!
We were thrilled on New Years Day, amongst the chaos of moving and building in our home, to find a ladybug. During the adoption of Maddox, we have frequently spotted ladybugs at the most unsuspecting times. New Years Day was no exception and we were all encouraged to see this little critter - a sign of hope and joy to come!
New Year's Eve, I snapped pictures of the kiddos. Individual ones, which are really a rarity. Love this of Colin. His spirit shines in this pic and it pretty much sums up his personality of willing to try anything, within reason of course, and his smile is radiant....a characteristic that he has always held on to.
And Pryce. One just has to love this guy. His heart is held on his sleeve and he lights up any room when he enters. Always.
Oh MK, how you have come out of your shell and grown leaps and bounds in the almost three years since we first met you! This year will hold many great things for you!

And, imagine our surprise Tuesday evening when we received the photos below of little Maddox. She looks healthy and dainty and quite perplexed about the cake that is in front of her - imagine the day (and the look) when she meets us and realizes what her life holds in front of her!
Learning to embrace....that is going to be our theme for 2011, Embrace. 2011 brings with it 13 years of marriage for us, as well as our fourth and final child, the rest of will be icing on the cake! Cheers!

Maddox is GORGEOUS!!! It is interesting, because we have friends that just received photos of their daughter - also in front of an elaborate cake - do you know what the cake was for? We are so happy for you!!!
