7 years, 17 months..

Obviously I have failed the 31 for 21, but that is OK! :)

today's post is really more about celebrating Madeline than DS...her 7th birthday was the 22nd, Parker turned 17 months on the 23rd. So, two special kiddos with two special days! I am humbled by the joy all of my kids bring to our lives. God has richly blessed me with an amazing family and while these kids bring me to my knees daily, they remind me that children truly are a gift from God. We had a terrific party at the ice rink yesterday and I am struck by how much she looks like I did as a young skater(go check my FB page for old skating pics). The ponytail hair and even the face looks a bit like me! This morning they girls and Dad were up and out the door by 6:30am for a swim meet..never a dull moment at this house...the boys and I are about to head out too...
