A Special Day

Sunday was an extremely special day for our family. We started the day with both Annika and Henrik being baptized. Both of our families joined us as we dedicated our children to Christ and promised to bring them up in His Word.

After the baptism, we headed home to celebrate Annika's third Birthday. She requested a PINK party, so we brought in as much pink as we could: cupcakes, cookies, decorations, balloons and wrapping paper. Since Annika was sick for Christmas this year, it was SO fun to see her be well and excited to enjoy her special day. Some of her special gifts included LOTS of puzzles, a bunny pillow pal, an adorable shopping cart, books and adorable clothes. I can't believe my baby girl is three. Wow.

How Did We Get Here?

This past week my Mom drove up to Michigan with her friend Nancy who is the mother of one of my best childhood friends, Allison. Allison came over to our house to pick up her mom and brought with her Paige, Will & Annie, her three beautiful children. It was a bit surreal to see our 5 kids playing together. Life moves so fast!

It is hard to believe that Henrik is already in his 6th month, but I have to say that I LOVE this phase. He is so easy to entertain, whether in his jump-a-roo or sitting with some toys, and he is happy and content 90% of the time. I'm relishing every moment before he decides that he wants to start moving.
