Happy Birthday Nina

I am a little behind in posting...since we have a few March birthdays...better late than never...Nina turned 4 on March 13th. She is such an amazing little girl...our little survivor...She has grown up so much in the last year...most of that growth has taken place since Grant was born. Her speech has improved and she is becoming even more independent (if that is possible). She is well on her way to being potty trained!! She loves to play with her brothers (even if they aren't always super excited about it!!) She loves to help me in the kitchen and with the baby. She is a very gentle big sister. She loves school and loves riding the bus. She loves to dance and sing...I think she gets her moves from her dad!! :) Some people might say she is stubborn, but we like to call it determined. She loves to do things her way. We love Nina so much and we are so glad that she is part of our family.

BLESSINGS

What a wonderful blessing it was to have family here for Grant's blessing day.

His dad gave him a beautiful blessing ...and he did great...he just looked up at everyone and was so alert the whole time!!
Later on in the week I took him out to get a few shots in his blessing outfit...he looked so cute with his little bow tie.


I am a very sentimental person...so in the above picture Grant is laying on the blanket used at my blessing (and all my siblings)...it was made by Grant's Great Great Grandmother Gosser...below are the booties that Ben wore at his blessing...they were made by Grant's Great Aunt Ruth...
