So Blessed - 52 Faces Week 15

This post was written for inclusion in Courtney Kirkland's 52 Faces - See the Changes Photography Challenge. Please visit Courtney's blog and see who else is participating in the challenge this week.

I'm looking forward to having 52 faces from each of my silly bears to watch their growth through 2012!

I am just so blessed. I look at these kiddos, and I just can't help but smile. 

Abbey is getting so big, and so bright and adventurous. Joseph, just as adventurous, is learning to toddle around. Toddling. . . can you believe it!? Yeah, neither can I!

Does anybody see a sport in his future? (hint: picture above right. . 24, 36, 19, HUT!)

I love hanging out with my kiddos at the park by our house. Close enough for potty breaks and neighbors to play with. . . but great to get away from the house for a bit. Abbey loves to ride her bike, play "jail" and "witches" with her friends (yeah, don't ask.) and Joseph is actually climbing and sliding. At 12 months!

I think the member of our family that enjoys our outings to the park the most, though, is our black lab, Raven. With two kiddos for mama to care for, she gets neglected a bit and just bums around the house - until we go to the park! Then she's all smiles and stick-chewing and the best bike buddy ever!
