"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Mary Claire is 11 months

Just a few snapshots from the days leading up to her 11 month birthday...
The wonder of the first Christmas!

Snuggling in Mommy and Daddy's bed in the morn.  (all five of us) :)

Heading out to drink hot chocolate and see the Christmas lights on Christmas Eve eve!



Waking up in the morning
