Family Night
Tonight was one of those nights where you just look at everything you have and feel so humbled. Tonight for family night we had a lesson on being honest. Lexi really looks forward to family night, especially when it's time to sing songs. She always picks out the songs, and one day her and I went through the whole children's song book and sang every song I knew. She loved it!! She LOVES to sing and sings everywhere we go. Most mornings Cody and I will wake up to her singing a song in her bed. It is so cute. I love being able to stay at home with my kids and see everything they do. Since our move to Arizona I've realized how lucky I am to have two little best friends to hang out with everyday. Seeing them laugh, smile, and learn new things is what I live for. It has been hard on Cody since he began working because he feels like he is missing out on so much with the kids. He has been able to be with them so much the last couple of years, that it has been hard for him to be away from them. The transition of moving is always a little bit tough, and finding new friends is probably the hardest part. I think the hardest part for me about moving is the wonderful friends I had to leave in Indianapolis. I miss them a lot, and I know finding friends like them will be hard. They will never be replaced, but I'm thankful for the church and how welcomed we have felt here in Arizona.

What a cute family. I can't believe that Trey is already almost a year old. CRAZY!! How do they grow up SO fast??
Your family is so SUPER cute! Fun family night! Oh and the Smith get together looked like LOADS of fun! I wish I could see everyone again. Good times for sure! I cannot even imagine with 9 babies under age 3! WOW!

Just so you know you are missed very much here! Now that Cody is working do you really notice a big difference in not seeing him as much compared to him being in school? Hope all is going well!
