Baby Girl Faces Front

Hope is 1 year old and 20 pounds. That means she gets to face forward in the car! Jackpot!!!

Gideon's Crush

One of Gideon's favorite people in the entire world is Rhonda (Ditty). She is a lady in our church who is VERY involved in my ministry. She has an art shop in downtown Moline that we frequent often. Rhonda's shop shares a pass-through door with her daughter's top-notch beauty salon. And Gideon has been smitten with Kristen for years. When we visit the shop, he'll just stand in the doorway looking at Kristen (won't talk to her and jut buries his head in our shoulder when she speaks with him. So today I finally got a picture of him just staring into the salon. It is pretty cute to watch him.

The T's & the Williams'

We had Matt and Laura Williams and their kids over for supper last night. After supper, Hannah stayed at our house and we went to Williams' to watch a movie. So much fun!

Hope's Present From the Wilson Fam

Our friend Tara brought two of her daughters over (Jasmine and Vada) when Tara came to take our Christmas picture. They surprised Hope with a pretty sweet birthday present. Thanks Wilson family.

Hope Sleeping

Most of the time Hope is awake when we go get her from her nap. Not on Friday, she was out.

Hope Standing

Hope is getting much better standing on her own. Here's proof!
