Testing...

I'm testing uploading and doing posts from my phone. So in doing this I thought I'd pose a riddle.

When is the half of something equal to its whole?

We have come up with two different answers. Have fun.

Happy 4 month birthday...

...Joanna! (a day late:)

Wow! Has it really already been 4 months, Joanna?! What a joy you are to our home! We love you dearly!! (Thanks to my sister, for taking time to do a photo shoot for, Joanna!)

We so appreciate my sister, Anna, taking time to snap these photos of, Joanna, a couple weeks ago! It was her 1 month photo shoot! ;) How the time flies...and we're trying to soak up every precious moment of it! Truly they are a blessing! We love you, Joanna!!!

I love you, Josiah! You're the man of my dreams, and SO MUCH MORE!! No one else in all the world could be as perfect for me as you are! I'm so blessed!!!

Gift from Great Grandma!

For as long as I can remember Grandma has always made something 'special' for each grandchild that arrived...and never fail she's done the same for her first great grandchild as well! Joanna, was blessed with a gorgeous blanket that Great Grandma worked many hours over. Her labor of love will be treasured for the years to come! Thank you so much, Grandma!!

"I love you, Joanna!"

"Grandma, I love it!"

What a fun pattern...

"Thank you, Grandma!"

All cozy! :)

"I like my blanket, Great Grandma Vermeer! Thank you!

Four Generations

Yesterday we had the joy of having my Grandma visit to see little, Joanna! It was so special to have her here for the afternoon, and thanks to my sister, Anna we didn't lack for pictures of the memorable moment! :) Thank you Grandma for coming to see your great grandaughter, and thank you to my cousin, Dianna for bringing Grandma down with you!!!

Four generations, what a heritage!

Nothing like a baby to make you pause...and treasure the moment...

"Mommy loves you, Joanna!"

So precious!

We love you, Joanna!

Picture post of Joanna Praise!

The last several days have been filled with lots of precious moments cherishing our new little bundle...thus not much blogging! But thanks to my sister, Anna we do not lack pictures! :) So I thought I'd take a moment while Joanna, is fast asleep to share some with you all. She's absolutely perfect in every way, and how we love her! I also know we're not biased or anything! (grin) Enjoy!!

Joanna, loves watching and listening to us...

"I love you, mommy!"

So content...

To sleep, or not to sleep?!

Love those adorable blue eyes!

"Let me tell you about it, mom!"

Almost a smile!

"I love foot massages!"

Our precious, Joanna Praise!

Daddy and Mommy are pretty busy and have not have a lot of time for blogging pictures of Joanna, and for that we are sorry, because she is SO cute. The good news is that Joanna has aunts that have the time. So with the teamwork of Abi's sister Anna, who took the pictures, and my sister Rachel, who blogged them, you can go to...
