christmas

It's been great to have James home more with us. We played out in the snow for a couple of hours yesterday. The bottom picture shows how Candace writes her name!

"Mom, why did you name me Candace?

"Because we thought it was the most beautiful name."

"I didn't want to be named Candace. I want my name to be Pierce."

I love being a mother and today I am celebrating that I made it through one of the hardest days I've had in the last while. These are some cute pictures that we took of Joshua after giving him yet another chocolate chip cookie.
