Thankfully my sista was willing to help and last night we made our way to Poole's Mill Park. I set the camera up and she snapped away-- literally, I've never heard my camera's shutter go so fast. We just needed one good photo and luckily we ended up with a few more than one. Even after Olive fell into the muddy water. Ya just gotta go with the flow of things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For a moment I contemplated not sharing because my first reaction was "holy moly, I have gained a lot of weight!". But let's be real. I don't really care. I don't really care because I am growing a human- something I didn't think my body was going to do again. This is literally a miracle and for that- I love every single pound I've gained AND so thankful! </span><br />

We actually got snow last Friday, the day we closed on our new house. We didn't expect much from the storm but low and behold, we got almost two inches of snow that quickly turned into ice. So our move got canceled and we weren't sure what we were going to do. However, Saturday night church was canceled and our bishop suggested to get some people over to help (we love our bishop!). We had such a great turn out, we were able to load and unload twice under two hours. </span><br />

I've neglected documenting our life for over two years, which makes me sick to my stomach. In that two+ years I've realized a few things. 1. Life has been hard and writing is therapy for me- who knew?! I could have had a lot less anxiety attacks had I just taken the time to put life into words. 2. Having kids is no picnic and I've been just surviving life instead of living it fully. 2016 showed me life is never guaranteed and the only thing that matters is family. I know without any doubt that is the reason the world was created--<i>family. </i>So... here's to taking a hold of life and making it wonderful and documenting the good, the bad and the ugly on the way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I've had this post pending for nearly a year. Since I'm doing my best to catch up I thought this would be a good starting point. Believe it or not we received some grief regarding the name Olive. However, we don't take naming a child lightly and popular names don't appeal to me. Back when Maddie was just 9 months old we took a small trip to <a href="http://metcalfcrew.blogspot.com/2012/09/metcalf-home.html" target="_blank">Maine </a>during Labor Day weekend to visit the Metcalf Home. It was there that I saw a tombstone for the wife of the man who built the home. Olive Metcalf. It was a powerful experience and I knew if we ever had an opportunity to have another girl- her name would be Olive. Fast forward five months to when we found out we were indeed having another girl (a total shock!) it took me nearly 24 hours to remember this experience in Maine. My mother quickly reminded me that was Grandma Hanks name (my mothers favorite grandma who I just remember as "Grandma Hanks"). Olive's middle name Cora came from my dads grandma- who died when my Daddy Jimmy was just two or three years old. So no, we did not name her after Downtown Abbey's character. We did consider naming her Cora Olive but my experience seeing the tombstone was too powerful to push to the side and we didn't want her initials to me COM. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fast forward a few more months after OC was born and I finally had the energy to make her room livable, the painting I had planned to use her in her room (one that my mom has had my entire life and she gave to me when we moved to CT) was painted by Grandma Hanks. The painting has her signature on the back and I never paid much attention to it. Although I can't articulate exactly what my train of thought is- the painting sealed the deal that we had made the right choice. Names are powerful and important. Maddie may not be named after anyone in particular we had just as a spiritual experience naming her as Olive. Her story is <a href="http://metcalfcrew.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-miracle.html" target="_blank">here. </a></span></div>

This girl of ours is perfectly fierce, sweet, squeezable and smart. We are so lucky to have her in our family. We celebrated with our closest friends (minus a few) with a backyard party including sprinklers, baby pools, sand box and ice cream! Although we don't make a huge deal about birthdays we still treasure the opportunity to reflect and celebrate a sacred day. </span><br />

This has been devastating to me because it's how I get 40% of my work done and because of all the memories that were on it. Tonight I finally found the courage to see if iCloud actually saved these said memories and it's looking good. Reason #176 I love Apple products. This has jump started a new desire to blog more for the sake of keeping our memories alive somewhere before they are forgotten. Also to practice what I preach- print your dang photos! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So much has happened since I last wrote, I'll need to go back and document each event. But for now... the girls have changed so much since summer. Madelyn is still as active as ever and very little slows her down. If I didn't cope with stress by eating fun foods, I'd look much healthier because of her alone! Olive is walking and climbing on everything. She talks with her tongue and she sounds like a little chipmunk. If I could freeze time, I would. I could eat them up, I love them so. </span></div>

I feel like we were always making awesome memories while in Connecticut and we simply just don't have those moments often now. Work, eat, sleep and repeat seem to be our life. This season we are in can be a tad daunting but more fulfilling than thought possible.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Olive turned 11 months old on the 27th and Maddie turned 2 1/2 on the 28th. Both girls are feisty, strong and stubborn. Asking Maddie to do something can be like talking to a brick wall. It seems like she became defiant overnight and it's really frustrating to the point I brought it up with her pediatrician. I really like her because she just said "Only defiant woman have made history". Bam! Just what I needed to hear. Will Maddie make history? It's unlikely but she will make her own history and as her parents we need to give her healthy boundaries-- which is reallllly hard.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Madelyn is talking so much she's like a broken record. She's potty trained and still loves to hide! Swimming has become her new favorite thing she asked to go 100 times a day. She'll close her nose like she's gonna go under the water and only her chin will. When we're home and sister is running around with no diaper on (we are naked 90% of the time-- who has time for clothes!?) she'll say "stinky booty! stinky booty!". Yes, we have taught her well. Speaking of teaching her well... whenever we drive by Publix she yells "cookie mama, cookie!" or drive by Chick Fil A it's "I hungry mama, I hungry!". But when she says "thank you mama!" without being told to I have hope she's not learning all bad things from us.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Olive is so close to walking! She takes on step and stops. Unfortunately the screech she came out screaming with has returned when she's about to be fed and I can't get the food on her tray fast enough. Taking baths and pounding her chest are a few of her favorite things. Biting me has taken the cake for favorite things whether it be my knee, shoulder or just after breastfeeding, she gets a BIG kick out of it. Her smile and "stink face" kill me and I can't stay upset about it for to long. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The girls together love to communicate and laugh at one another by spitting (air raspberries more like it) and it too kills me. We feel tremendously blessed to be able to call these little humans ours.</span><br />

I'm kinda over it. I'm attempting to get all my photos organized and while sorting through some today, I could see how much our life has taken a toll on both myself and Cony physically. Sorting through these photos also made me ache for Connecticut fiercely but reminded myself to just be thankful we had such a wonderful experience there... To survive the time of day after nap and before dinner, we spend a lot of time in the girls rooms if we aren't outside. In another attempt to keep a commitment to myself that I would pick up my "real" camera more instead of the trusty iPhone... I decided to start documenting the everyday happy and not so happy moments. These are the days I know I'll ache for when my babies have left me. The moments when Maddie steals my phone and runs to hide, or find her reading a book to <i>her</i> babies or watching Olive crawl and climb on sister- what seems like to purposely annoy her. </span><br />

She is so scrumptious and now that she is becoming more mobile, sister has taken a liking to playing with her more. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*starting walking with a "walker"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*has 8 teeth (cut 4 in one week!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*very animated with her facial expressions</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*moves her whole body the second music comes on</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*clapping! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*eats mostly solid foods (seems like it happened over night)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*still waking me up at least twice during the night- feel like she may never stop nursing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*loves Gracie and tries to use her as a chewing toy- no worries, I stop her</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*sticks her tongue out all the time</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*still loves a good snuggle</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*loves to head-butt me or Cony if we are holding her and thinks it's hilarious</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*her giggle consist of loud, short noises--hoping she doesn't have my loud laugh</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*wearing Madelyn's 12-18 month clothes (I swear I just took out of her drawer)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*loves bath time! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">If my girls, time and my body would allow me, I would just hold them all day long and never let them grow up. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">This little girl brings so much happiness into our home. She still doesn't sleep through the night and I could care less. We were on such a great schedule with Madelyn, I thought for sure we'd do the same with Olive. However, I've learned for <i>me</i>, time goes by to quickly to worry about any sort of schedule. Maybe she'll sleep through the night when she weans, which may be never. Oy vay. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">At nine months, she is blabbing, crawling and climbing up on everything, including the stairs. I never want to forget the huge grin she has on her face when we walk into her room after a nap. A few of her favorite new things to do includes grabbing sisters pacifier out of her mouth or stealing her water bottle. When she's in her highchair, she rocks back and forth out of excitement at the possibility of being fed. I can't get the food in her mouth fast enough. In the last month she has but 3 new teeth. She's 19.2 pounds and her height is still off the charts. I believe Cony is most proud that her head circumference is still in the 70 percentile (joking that she has my big head). Big head or not, we love her so. </span></div>

I'm so thankful Spring is in the air. It's doing a lot of good to my soul. We are in our new home and although our to-do list is a mile long, it's comforting to know it's ours. We haven't painted one wall and I've still got the ugly curtains up the previous owner left. I surprise myself. But to avoid an anxiety attack, I just take one day at a time and consider it a successful day if I have dinner on the table. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last week Cony had an emergency surgery to remove his appendix and we experienced a lot of tender mercies. Tuesday morning I had a newborn photography shoot that just happened to be 3 minutes away from his work. Not only that, the newborn was a dream. These type of shoots normally take three or so hours, but I was in and out in an hour and a half. The baby slept the entire time and didn't pee on anything or anyone. These two little miracles are what prompted me that we did indeed need to head to the ER. He had surgery later that night and the healing process is slow but he's back at work and back to pestering me in his loving way. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Madelyn has changed so much. I forget how quickly these babies do change. Week to week is different. One thing that is consistent... her fearlessness. After dragging a chair over to the kitchen counter, she'll climb up and jump down while flying through the air. Everyday there is something funny, frustrating and intelligent she does that makes me question if we'll be able to keep up with her. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-"Me try!!" just turned into "Let me try!" this week</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-"Catch" while throwing most anything </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-"Hug Mama, I want a hug!" -- although my favorite, she seems to say it mostly when she knows she's in trouble</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-puts on her hat and shoes, gathers her purse and walks to the door with no pants on, blows me kisses and says "bye bye mama"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-after going to the potty she yells "treeeeat!" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-unfortunately she's found a lot of comfort in her pacifiers lately (an issue I don't have the energy to fight, I mean I did suck my thumb for a very long time myself) In order to get a snack she hid her pacifier in between her bum and thighs to free up her hands</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-loves, loves to hide- mostly in the washing machine</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-loves to help me stir anything I'm cooking </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-her adoration for animals keeps growing</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-after using the potty she puts her head on the floor and her bum in the air for me to wipe her hinny </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-yells "got you!" even if you were the one to grab her</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-"it's ME!" "it's NANA!" "it's DADA!" "it's MAMA!" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">- calls my sister Emily "her pretty"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-love hearing her say Olive's name and calling her sister</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We are so fortunate to have these girls in our lives! </span></span><br />

But I live in a world of reality where I'm lucky if I shower and have to work.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our girls bring us so much joy. There are moments in the day where I think my heart might physically burst from happiness or pure pain. Today Olive is 8 months old and she is still as sweet as ever but not afraid to let you know when she's unhappy. For the last week we've been fighting off high fevers and not until we took her into the ER (after a 105.1 fever!!) did we learn she has a UTI. Doctor wants to run some test to make sure her track is working properly although UTI's are very common in girls. I'm just thankful she's feeling better on the antibiotic and showing signs of herself again. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cony is stranded in the middle of the city after the most crazy snow day known to man and it seemed appropriate to document some happy moments. We knew it was going to snow, but that usually just means a flurry here and there. Instead we got two inches which has forced the Governor to issue a state of emergency. Everyone in the city of Atlanta was released from work and school at the same time. Traffic here is already a hot mess. It's been black/grid locked since noon. Parents still can't reach school children that are stuck on buses. Make fun of us Southerners all you want- but our state has 3 plow machines (maybe less) and we are not equipped to handle this sort of weather. I've never truly appreciated Facebook until this evening. After posting something about our situation (still in the mindset Cony would be home tonight) so many friends reached out to us, offering help. Our church community is amazing and Cony is now enjoying a warm, happy home with friends we knew years ago from church. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Before we knew the seriousness of the situation at hand, Madelyn had a blast throwing snow and making snow angels with Jordan. I'm personally hoping to enjoy the weather more fully tomorrow when Cony is home with us. </span></div>

Whether she's just staring at me with her big blue eyes and giggling, letting me rub her soft cheeks, snuggling my shoulder while we dance or waking up with the biggest grin possible... I can't get enough. One of the many reasons I don't care she still wakes up in the middle of the night for a feeding. She's only this small for a moment. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">* rolling from one side of the room to the other</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*sitting up like a champ</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*grabbing, grabbing and more grabbing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*trying so hard to crawl- she's almost figured out how to pull her knees in under her</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*eating more solids</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">*spitting up has decreased some- at this point I feel I'll be sending her off to college with a burp rag</span><br />

It was a low key Christmas and that's how I like it best. Maddie learned how to say "ho, ho, ho" every time she saw a Santa and Olive enjoyed sitting under the tree mesmerized by the lights. As I get older and especially now that we're parents, I realize each year how I want to center the holiday more on Christ and not the presents.</span> <div>

We were able to spend the day with our birth family in South Carolina and it was <b><i>awesome! </i></b>I took one photo with my phone of the day- and it was just of the girls. I forgot my real camera and I'm trying not to be sick about the moments I didn't capture. Grandma Celia made adorable dog cupcakes to celebrate the day- after the yummy feast. We feel so blessed to have them in our lives! </span></span><br />

My heart is full after a wonderful Sabbath day- something that is very rare these days. With Cony gone and me working the most I have in one week since being a mom, I knew today would be difficult. However, I'm humbled because the Lord has lifted me in unexpected ways in the last two days. I found a way to serve someone today and somehow in the last few months I've forgotten how important that is to my soul. After making it home in a car on E from church, the girls went right to sleep- at the same time. After only three hours of sleep on my part this seemed like a treasure way beyond my reach. Olive slept from 1:00 to 5:30 and although Maddie woke up with a 101.5 temperature because she's teething, it allowed us to snuggle and have more relaxing time. The Lord knew exactly what I needed today.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A year later we are starting to see the reasons we moved back to Georgia. Maybe the reasons haven't been very obvious to us because we've been in survival mode for what seems like an eternity... regardless I couldn't be more thankful for my mom who helps us survive. I'm able to work and make it worth it because she takes care of our girls- even when it means waking up and going home at 2:00 AM. When I take the time to open my eyes... I see that Heavenly Father has been by our side through the good and the bad. I can't help but feel blessed for the trials we have because of what we learn in the process.</span></span><br />

It seems we've been stuck in the house a lot lately because of illnesses and today it was too cold to even go on a walk. Instead we found ourselves in Madelyn's room doing nothing when I remembered some owl bloomers I needed to put on Olive before she out grew them. I'm constantly reminded how grateful I am that we have a way to capture life's moments. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-barely started to end most sentences with "momma"- just wish I knew what she was saying</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-going through a phase where we have to lay down with her at night in order for her to sleep</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-she will only sleep in the corner of her room on the floor (not sure if I should be worried)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-potty training and doing really well (we've discovered it's NOT for the faint of heart)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">OC happenings:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-smiles, smiles, smiles</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-has giggled twice and it's music to my ears! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-doesn't mind getting smothered by sister </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-barely found her feet</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-has become independent and loves the floor mat & exersaucer (I believe me working has helped with this!)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">-will only fall asleep on dad when we're out (which is usually just church)</span><br />

Not just our immediate family but our half siblings as well. It was so delightful! We try to make it up there as often as possible and visit the waterfalls where we spread my dads ashes. There's nothing special that we do except enjoy the scenery and time together. After keeping the kids from swimming down the creek, we walked (since it was Goldrush weekend) to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. It made my heart happy to be with the entire group that day in honor of dad. </span><br />

This year for Halloween all the cousins came down and I made pizza for everyone before trick or treating. A few weeks beforehand I tried to teach Maddie to say "trick or treat" but she didn't see the point...until I gave her an orange plastic pumpkin! To her delight strange people put candy in it and she couldn't be stopped. In fact, at one house she saw a stuffed dog on the floor and yelled "dog!!" and the lady asked if she could have it, and who are we to pass up free stuffed dogs? The second Maddie was handed the dog she gently put it on her shoulder and rubbed it with her cheek. She clearly knows when to ham things up when necessary and the lady just about melted. I did too. We had a blast running around the neighborhood with the kids and M3 couldn't get enough of the cousins doting on her. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today has been one of those beautiful days I wish I could bottle up to savor whenever needed. My man turns 30 today and Olive turns 4 months old. It seemed like a perfect day to schedule Olive's name and a blessing, a "christening" in our church. Our family, including our birth family and a few friends came to celebrate with us. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Looking back and pondering the different paths our lives have taken, we can see clearly how divine intervention brought us together. I stand in awe that I get to be married to a kind, gentle, thoughtful, generous, handsome and hard working man. The girls and I are so lucky to have him in our life! </span></span></div>
