Maya Turns 14

The girl that made us parents is officially 14 years old. Whoever says raising a teenage is challenging wasn't lying. It's a roller coaster of emotions and you just never know what you're going to get day to day. Either way, we are extremely proud of the woman Maya is becoming. She's full of energy and always willing to work hard to reach her goals. It is so much fun watching her grow up and find successes throughout her school, sports, and life.

Delaney Turns 12

Another year in the books for Delaney! Delaney turns 12 today. She continues to keep growing and becoming her own person. She is still the most creative, helpful, respectful, and loving kid I know. Being the middle child is tough, but this girl takes it in stride and loves being able to be a kid and act foolish with Harper, yet likes to act like she's 16 with Maya. Sarah and I joke that she is 12 going on 16, while still acts like a 5 year old. I guess it all comes being the middle child! We love you so much Delaney and just keep being YOURSELF!

Harper Turns 9

Well, if me posting this over a week after Harper's actual birthday isn't a stereotypical "third child" type of action, then I don't know what is. But nonetheless, here we are, March 21st, and I finally have gotten around to posting Harper's 9th birthday questionnaire. I can give many excuses as to why this hasn't gotten posted until now and frankly some of them would be because of Harper and her activities. Regardless, Harper is now 9 and finding her true passions and talents. It's fun watching your children grow and learn and find what they enjoy and finally seeing how hard work and practice pay off down the road. So without further ado, enjoy Harper's interview, which for the record was completed only 3 days following her birthday....
