A year ago... or four

What were we doing a year from now? I didn't take many pictures in January last year it seems, but here is one of us working on an art project in the kitchen together. I was taking an online class, and the girls were helping me out. Mirian's hair seems so long. What happened? How did it get shorter?

Isaac is just learning how to walk and run around, and now look at him. The kid can't be stopped, he doesn't have a walk, he just has a slow jog for everything! We were in our old apartment, not even comprehending that in six months we'd have our own house. Circumstances can change like that.

But to really see how fast life changes, look at savannah 4 years ago. Is she just not the cutest kid in the world?! She's getting ready to have her first sibling join the family in a couple of months, full of smiles, curly hair and cuteness. They grow up so fast! Faster than I would like.

Poor Girl


Her and Isaac were having a great time twirling each other around and break neck speed on the rocking chair. Well she decided to stand up and leaned too far tipping the chair over. She went flying and smashed her nose into the bookcase. It immediately turned black and blue, swelled up and bled a little bit.


I wasn't sure whether to take her to the doctor since the last time I went in for another nose incident with Savannah the doctor told me it was really hard for young kids to break their noses, since the bridge is so small and the cartilage is so loose too. So we're giving it a day to see if the swelling goes down. She didn't seem to have much pain when touching it, and we'll see if she can breathe better out of it tomorrow morning. Until now, it just looks nasty!
