Happy 1 year birthday to Allison and Ryan

 

It's so hard to believe these tiny little ones have been in our family for an entire year. 

 This weekend we celebrated Ryan & Allison's 1 year birthday!

 

They are both so sweet and have such different personalities. 

They are a joy to us all!

Today their birthday party was full of people who love them, presents, cake, and many smooches and cuddles...just what a one year old party should be!

Now that they are walking, their springtime is going to be full of new adventures. It will be so much fun to see them explore. 

Happy Birthday Allison and Ryan...here's to another fun year!

Basketball

 Marie just wrapped up another session of YMCA basketball. This team was full of spunky girls who learned a lot.

Andy (and I ) had our hands full but it was a blast.

 Once again it's so much fun to see how much the girls learn in 6 short weeks.

 Marie seems to have an eye for defense, finds sneaky and smart passes to teammates, and is right there grabbing rebounds.

Babysitting Fun

 Marie and I got to spend some quality one-on-one time with Ryan and Allie a few weeks ago. 

We loved every minute of it. These two babies are so special and we were way overdue for cuddles.

 Marie is very helpful and I really couldn't have done it without her help. She can get those babies to smile, laugh, calm down, and even fall asleep. 

 They are inching closer to one year old and I can hardly believe it!  

God knew what he was doing bringing these two into our family.
