to us!!  Today Micah and I celebrate 8 years of marriage.  It’s unbelievable how far God has brought us since that beautiful Sunday 8 years ago.  God has given me an amazing husband who truly loves Jesus Christ.  He’s always been such an encouragement and challenge to my own faith.  I am so blessed and I can’t wait to spend the day with him!  We are taking a 3-hour lunch thanks to our good friends, Jim and Bethany, who have offered to come over with their kids and play with/watch our girls.  I love getting to spend time with my man, uninterrupted!!  Thank you, Lord, for giving much such an awesome husband!!

We’re so excited that it’s finally decided to warm up around here. The girls have been very eager to get out and enjoy our backyard. We have a fenced-in yard now and we love it! When it’s nice the girls are outside ALL day!

Kessed still likes to swing in her toddler swing, but when Grace gets out of the “lellow wing” (translation for those who don’t know Kessed-ese: “yellow swing”) she wants in it! She really likes for her big sister to push her too! Sure makes my job easier! I just get to watch and take pictures!

Thanks to Grandma Cheryl (and Grandpa Paul!) for these absolutely adorable dresses!!!!  They’re so cute I think we’re going to have to have professional pictures taken in these!  The girls were BOTH in a mood to smile today, so these Sunday Snapshots are pretty fabulous, I think!!

We enjoyed a fun night tonight with our friends John and Nancy and their children Jeffrey, Jenna and Allison. We went to eat Pizza together and then took the kids to play mini golf at Cool Crest. It was an adventurous evening! It was the first time they’ve played! Here are some pics:
