On to 2013

We loved Christmas this year! We loved being in our own home, playing with snow in the backyard, seeing Santa, and having Christian home for a good long break! We are excited for 2013 and hope this little girl coming is our only big change. Naming this girl has been harder than the other two, but at least we have a few good suggestions, Kate thinks it should be Ariel and Benton wants to name her Treasure. I'm sure it will be one of those 2 :)

Excited

Kate is so excited (and so are the rest of us) to be having another baby girl! She is coming in March and we can't wait to meet her. This has been a year full of changes from moving to our house, buying a 2nd car, meeting new friends, and now to become a family of 5. Hooray for the good things in life!
