Life is GOOD!





























The past few weeks with our new addition to the family have flown by! Noelle is 4 weeks old today and growing chubbier and more beautiful by the day! Her 2 week check up was awesome. She not only gained back her birth weight (which was 5 lbs. 13 oz.) but she weighed in at a whopping 7 pounds! She is only in the 10th percentile- but now that the cord around her neck is gone and she is eating 4 oz every 3 hours, she will not stay in the 10th percentile for long! She is such a content baby! We have so much fun together each day talking, singing, going for nice long walks on beautiful days, and reading all kinds of interesting stories! She also gets lots of cuddles from her daddy when he gets home from work each day. Noah still absolutely adores her! He gives her hugs every day! We could not be happier than we are right now. Noelle is the perfect puzzle piece that completes our family...until the next one comes along. (Haha! That's mostly a joke to scare Marshall!) God has proven his faithfulness in our lives yet once again. I remember a time not so long ago when I was still pregnant with Noelle- and I would wonder how I was going to handle 2 little ones. God's grace is always enough! I feel so highly blessed with where I am in life. There is nothing greater than knowing that you are living a life full of purpose. My 2 babies are the greatest purpose in my life right now and I couldn't ask for more than I have right this moment!
