ak was so excited to go to her first little concert… she danced her little heart out.
afterwards we made a fun day out of it and headed out to enjoy a little hill country afternoon, ice cream and all.

feeling so blessed…
we feel so blessed to be able to find this small town church. father justin will be going back to nigeria in mid july. he has made such an impression on all of our hearts. he has truly been a servant for christ. we will miss him so much!

{ten months}
anna kate frances, sweet thing this month is the month you have become just a little big girl!
you are starting to stand for a few seconds at a time all by yourself. you are eating big people food happily! we have learned you cannot have anything dairy related. anything. you love music and dancing. you love being upstairs with all the toys. you love falling asleep next to daddy. you have eight teeth visible! you are a happy traveler as long as mama is near by. you light up every room. we cant believe how fast you are growing! we love you sweet ak!
