Our Little Girls

In anticipation of Evelyn's arrival, I have been looking back at some pictures from when Cora was a newborn.  I cannot believe that we get to do this all over again.  I can't imagine why God allows us to play such an intimate role in nurturing new life.  In our short marriage, he has blessed us with three precious souls.  He is already holding one in his arms, and we will soon get to hold another in ours.   

This morning, I was reading about St. Seraphim of Sarov and how he addressed everyone as, "My Joys."  Our little ones are our joys.  They are the reason for so many smiles and laughs in our house.  They brighten our life together and have enhanced our relationship every day.  

This is such an overwhelming and exciting time!  Please pray for us.  For a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

Christmas 2012

This year, Christmas was very different for us since I was too close to my due date to travel.  Thankfully we have the most wonderful families who were all willing to come and celebrate with us here in college station.  Here is the recap in pictures . . .

First, the Pawelek visit . . .

Then the Fernandez visit . . .

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!  

David's Graduation

Back in December we made our last trip to see Dave in Golden, Colorado for his graduation.  I was a little nervous about traveling at 35 weeks pregnant, but it went great!  Cora got a little sick while we were there, but it only lasted a day, so not too bad.  The actual graduation ceremony was awesome.  Colorado School of Mines is such a unique school and we are so proud of Dave for doing so well there!  

Searching for snow or bunnies, she was obsessed.  

Dave and his girlfriend, Tarah.  

Graduations make her emotional.  

Having a BLAST in the hotel.  

She is a definite grandparents' girl.  So sweet. 

Another trip to the St. Francis Cabrini Shrine.  

Thank you to Mike and Judy for another wonderful trip, and CONGRATULATIONS, DAVE!!!
