Here is a look back at the past 19 months...

...a year and a half later...

Here we are over a year and a half later...John and I are enjoying life with our 19 month old little "joy," Addison! She keeps us laughing with her silly antics and hysterical facial expressions. John recently finished his Masters in Technology, and has been accepted into a doctoral program. We are all so proud of him- not to mention that he is the most amazing husband and father in the world! I am in my 9th year of teaching (Wo!) and, despite our hectic schedule, try my best to cherish every moment. Time goes by so quickly...Anders, our proverbial 4 year old puppy, is still as hyper as ever. Domino, our rabbit, is now nearing 9 years old. Addison loves her "siblings" and takes good care of them. She likes to feed Anders "treats," and enjoys giving Domino hay and strawberries. Addison loves all animals, including her dada's "nakes" (snakes), her mama's classroom "wats" (rats), her own fish, and the many salamanders and "lillards" (lizards) that live in our yard. Our extended family lives nearby, and we enjoy spending time with them immensely! We thank God daily for the countless blessings he has given us.
