2007 Wessels Year-at-a-Glance

I confess, I never got a Christmas letter mailed out this year. I planned on doing a late "Happy New Year" one, but that didn't happen either. So instead, I'm finally getting a blog put together like I've wanted to for the past couple of years! Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up to date more often and can share pictures of the girls and maybe even some of the funny stories that happen at our house with those who care to hear about us:) Life just goes by so quickly. I hate the fact that if I don't write things down or take pictures, I forget so many precious moments in life but at the same time, I don't want to be missing those moments all together because I'm spending time trying to keep scrapbooks and journals updated!! The girls are just really growing up fast and I already find myself wishing I could stop time and be able to cherish their time when they're little even more. I'm so thankful to be living my life in a way I dreamed I would be 10 years ago...married to my best friend, raising kids that I love in a Christian home, close to our family and friends, working from home so I can spend the most time possible with my kids, and overall happy! And had I not taken the time to write these goals down back then, I may not have realized I'm actually living my dream today! So that's exactly why I want to take the time to start this blog now. It's not perfect (you may want to start at the bottom of the pictures and go up if you like stuff to be in order....which I do), but I'm deciding I've now spent enough time learning new technology for today and now it's time to go play with my kids...so I'm leaving it as is! Enjoy! Shelly


December
Our family together on Christmas morning before Josh left for work. Later the girls got dressed for church in their matching dresses that Bedsta made and got pictures with Grammy, Great Grammy and friends Camden and Brooklyn.
November
Jacie is trying hard to keep up with her big sister. She is crawling everywhere, including through the coffee table! Peek!








October
For Halloween, Jacie was the softest (and cutest) little lamb ever and Joelle was a princess...there's rarely a day we don't see her in this outfit...high heels, jewelry, lipstick & all!
September
Joelle's really been paying attention to how to feed a baby...we about died when we told her to go feed her baby and she sat down in her chair, pulled up her shirt and started feeding her!!










August
Me and my girls!!
July
Oh Joelle....never a dull moment with this girl! She was lucky her parents were trying to figure out whether to laugh or cry when they found this mess of Hersey's chocolate syrup drizzled all over her and the carpet and furniture.
June
Brad and Jen got married in Seattle. Joelle was the flower girl and was caught by their photographer trying a sample of the cake!
May
Josh and I (& Jacie) went on an Alaskan Cruise that I earned through AtHome America!
April
Joelle LOVES her little sister and wants to hold and kiss (and carry!) her all the time!
March 27th at 3:01pm...Jacie Lynn Wessels was born....she's just beautiful and so loved!

March
Dropping off Joelle at Grammy's on the way to the hospital to have a baby!
February
Joelle lovingly kisses her sister in mommy's tummy....not much longer to wait!









January
Joelle found lots of mischivious ways to keep herself busy like getting into mommy's makeup!

Here's to trying new things....

Well, I finally took the time to get a blog set up! It was a New Year's resolution from LAST year! Hopefully this will be an easy way for me to share some pictures of Joelle and Jacie with everyone who'd like to see them:)
