Ana Maria!

5 years ago today, Matt and I got to hold our baby girl for the first time!! We can both picture it like it was yesterday.... the elevator doors opened at the Marriott in Guatemala and there was our sweet baby Ana!!


The adventure of loving Ana has continued to be amazing. We love her more and more. She is so hilarious and awesome. Ana's love for the little things in life is contagious.

We are honored that God chose us be her parents! We love you so much Ana. We could never put into words how much you mean to us.

Norton Basketbal - Pep Rally!

Kentucky is serious about their basketball!! We got to see that first hand as Carter had a pep rally put on by the school just for the basketball players!! It was so much fun!!

Here's the team right before they were announced entering the gym!

Here's the entire school excited to see their team!

The cheerleaders even made signs for the guys!!

Decorating for Christmas!

We had fun decorating our Christmas tree!! We had the music going and we actually made a turkey and all the Thanksgiving fixing too!!! Can't have too much of that yummy food!!

So yes, it's a big mess of ornaments, many of them all on the same branch (thank you Jackson, Durant, and Ana)!! But we love it so much and I know I will miss having a messy looking tree someday!!!
