Counting Stars

Ella has her very first dance recital this weekend. She's been waiting for this since she first started taking dance classes, so she's very excited! We are only allowed to take photographs during rehearsals, so here they are!

You can't tell at all, but Ella is right smack in the middle of this picture...

Irelynn's First Birthday Party...Finally!

We had to postpone Irelynn's party when she had RSV, but we were finally able to have everyone over to celebrate on April 2nd. Some pictures from her 1st birthday party...

Irelynn's First Birthday!

Today our baby turned 1! It feels as though the first year goes by faster with each additional child. Irelynn is spending her birthday at home doing breathing treatments for RSV. She's been sick for a little bit, but late yesterday afternoon her coughing and breathing were much worse. We made a trip to urgent care, and a chest x-ray and RSV test later, we had confirmation. RSV is a new one for us. Neither Gracie or Ella ever had it. In addition to the RSV, since it's her birthday and all, she has a double ear infection. Thankfully, she has been a trooper through the breathing treatments, even the middle of the night ones, and she seems much more like herself now. Today we are thanking God for Irelynn, and praying she is well soon.
