Big Girl Bed

My 'baby' finally got moved to her 'big girl' bed on Saturday night. She was so completely excited. I was dreading it just a bit only because there is always a transition of learning to sleep and stay asleep in a new bed... but let me tell you she has done wonderfully! She was so ready to move that the transition has been easy. I am sure there will be more pictures to follow as Molly is getting new bedding and curtains for her room for her birthday.
Molly is very excited about her new bed!!
Her sisters were very excited for her too but Molly was NOT in the sharing mood Saturday night when her new bed was ready. This picture cracks me up... she did not want anybody in her bed... at all that first night:)

Sweet Dreams Sweet Molly! Zzzzzzzzzzz.......

New Nephew + New Brother In Law = Family

We had a great weekend with a couple of really wonderful events! My sister had a sweet baby BOY on Friday morning. Keegan Li Tan made his grand entrance and he is already really spoiled and I can't wait to get my hands on him again. Also, my little sister, Kathryn got married on Saturday! I know... I am still trying to believe it;-) She had a very nice, small ceremony on Saturday with just family. It was so wonderful to be a part of a special event and we are so happy to welcome Matt, her husband, into the family. They leave next Saturday, April 24th for Amsterdam to serve with YWAM there. Here are a few pictures of our special events. If you need to see more of Keegan just ask... I have LOTS!!!
Just a few hours old! Isn't he beautiful?? :)

Don't you love the elephants? That was the gift from our family. The girls also picked out a stuffed elephant as his "special" gift from them!

Am I getting redundant? He is so sweet!
