Grateful hearts

This week has made us realize just how fragile and precious life is.  Chronicling our day-to-day activities feels a little shallow in light of everything going on in the world, but I also imagine there are a lot of families who would give anything to bake brownies, do puzzles, and play cars with their kid for another day.  We are grateful beyond words for Evelyn, for our families, our friends, and our faith, which gets us through these challenging times.  

Our first time baking together.  I did this with my mom all the time growing up!

Daddy showed off his confectionery skills by making homemade fudge.  YUM!
Potty training with Grandma Karen
Playing cars with Daddy's old Matchbox cars

Opening her first Christmas gift of the year

Evie is teaching Baby William about fish.  Daddy is so proud!

We also had to say goodbye to our four-legged niece this week - Ada Riggen.  She left us with a lot of funny stories and a permanent paw print on our hearts.  We will see you at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet girl.
Ada
