I really can not believe it has only been two months since we first held our little princess.  It seems as though she has been with us much longer.  She is fitting right into our family.  She is so enjoyable, has quite a humor, wakes up happy, all around pleasant, sweet, obedient, and precious little girl.  We are so amazed at our daughter, I do believe that she was grieving those first weeks home - she now seems to have settled in - and she seems very happy.  And this makes me happy!!!

You never know how things are going to go, how your child will handle all of these incredible changes in their life - you pray for the best, but you prepare for all the possibilities.  She has amazed us and I am so thankful for the ease of her transition.  


Elon and Harper have become great friends and, of course, typical sisters.

They fight...







In other news, I got a new camera!!!  It is actually a early Christmas present and an unexpected one at that!  Last week, we got the kid's completely ready to go out and try to take pictures for our Christmas card and my camera would not work!  I will not elaborate at how I was feeling at the moment - but the good thing was - I got a new camera and a new lens!!

Cole knew he had to give it to me early because it was Harpers first Christmas :)  I can not miss all of these memories!!

So I was figuring out my new camera and trying to get some pics of ALL the kid's.  Getting pictures of the girls is easy, they are still young, I remember when the boys were this age and I had SO many pictures of them.  It is not as easy to get two pre-teen boys to take pictures.  It was quite funny what I got...

Harper, who is just happy to smile:
