March Birthday Madness

 Mommy and Graci had so much fun getting mani/pedis together for Graci's 6th birthday!
I notice a resemblance. 
 Is Susi always smiling? Yes, yes she is! Whether it is a ball or a piece of ribbon, this girl is always happy and grateful for it!

Happy birthday to Thaddeus Joel! 
 Blow out your candles!
 Happy birthday boy going to bed in his big boy firetruck bed. He just moved out of his crib a week before turning 3. He is thanking Jesus for his birthday and for his spongebob. Grandma got him two Spongebobs and they top the list of his favorite gifts.

What a fun weekend celebrating our beautiful son and daughter! It is hard to believe that my little princess Graci Jia is 6 already. She is missing two teeth and almost has her perm teeth back in. We always stand in awe of what a gracious, sweet, nurturing, loving sister and little girl she is. She loves to learn and is impressing us with her reading ability. So blessed to have our precious Graci Jia!
It seems like just a minute ago we brought home our very fragile, sick, tiny little Thaddeus Joel. Now, just like that he is 3 years old. He is the most precious, sweet, loving little guy. His curious and get-into-trouble spirit makes our lives full of fun, adventure, and pure joy! Everything my little man does, brings a smile to my face as I see his sweet, curious, innocent thoughts behind it. As he is talking in full sentences now and using such emotion words, I am reminded at what a big boy he is becoming. I sure miss my little needy baby but I sure enjoy my little man!
