Let's see, so much has happened over the past year! As far as Nick and I go, things have been wonderful with our family. We've had lots of great changes take place in our lives and feel very blessed. The biggest item on our plate right now is building a house! We purchased a 2.5 acre lot in a neighborhood in Richmond and are in the process of building. It's been interesting and stressful, but fun as well. We went with a custom home, which means lots of decisions on the smallest details. It's exciting though - I know it will be worth it when it's all said and done and we have the exact house we want!
Layla has been the light of our lives! Every day she makes me laugh with something new that she cooks up. I enrolled her in Mothers Day Out twice a week, and she LOVES it. She's always been a pretty social kid, and going to "school" has only made that more apparent. She loves being with her friends and teachers, and comes home each week with new stories and songs to show off. Here are a couple of pictures that pretty much highlight her personality at this point (sorry for the quality, they are from my phone):
Our biggest and most exciting news is the arrival of Madeline Nicole Banker on March 19th, 2013! She's such a little pumpkin pie and we have been having a blast with her. She is a very easy going baby, loves to snuggle, and would prefer to be held 24/7 if possible!
Layla loves her little sister. Every morning, the first thing she asks is "Where's Maddie?" She is such a great helper, going to grab diapers, burp cloths, whatever I need. She loves to talk and sing to the baby, and gets very concerned when she cries and makes sure to let me know that I need to "go get Maddie, she's upset!"
I'll be doing another post soon with all of the details of the baby and more pictures, so stay tuned! I promise it won't be a year from now...
