Sam's Arrival!!!

I am again really behind on posting anything to the blog! There really doesn't seem to be enough time in the day...especially these days. Samuel David Taylor joined our family on December 29th. We are so blessed that he is healthy and perfect!!! He is a little bit of a handful but his little smiles make it all worthwhile! Sophie is enjoying being a big sister and has handled everything surprisingly well! We are loving getting used to being a family of 4!!!

Christmas

I am very behind on updating the blog as we have been extremely busy!!! We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We got to spend time with friends and family and Sophie really enjoyed herself. We celebrated with different sides of the family throughout the whole week of Christmas. Sophie still doesn't understand Chritmas yet but she loved all the attention and of course the toys that Santa (and everyone else) brought. We went to the children's service at church on Christmas Eve and she did really well (she usually goes to the nursery instead of the service). Chritmas day was busy but wonderful! Sophie started off by spending the morning with mommy and daddy, then all her grandparents and Uncle Alex came for breakfast and more presents!!! After a short nap, we headed to the Gregory family Christmas and then to the Lacoste's. Unfortunately, Jon was not with us because he had to work that night but we atleast got to spend the morning with him. We were exhausted by the end of the day but we enjoyed every minute of it! Sorry about the number of pictures below.

Edventure

Last week Jon and I took Sophie to Edventure for the day! She is a little small for most of the exhibits but don't tell her that. She had a good time and enjoyed playing and looking at everything. She has developed such a little personality and I love watching her play and figure things out for the first time! Can't believe she just turned 15 months old! Time is flying...

Some pics of her "shopping" in the grocery store
