The Smileys: Eliza's 1st Christmas

Eliza's 1st Christmas

Waking up on Christmas morning was great fun!

So it has been a busy few weeks, and I haven't had the opportunity to sit down and post about Christmas or the New Year! It was a beautiful time with Eliza, and a blessing to be able to see it through her eyes. We still have our Christmas tree up for that very reason...Eliza loves it, and tenses up with excitement whenever we walk into the room! We can't wait until next Christmas when she understands even more of what is going on.

Christmas Eve was with Gram and Papa Steckbeck!

Christmas afternoon and evening was with the Smiley family up in Lafayette.

About Us-

We met on a mission trip to Thailand in 2003. After getting married in May of 2005 we were able to go back to where it all started in Bangkok for our honeymoon. We are both Purdue graduates & now live in Indianapolis where Kirk works for DonorsChoose.org, an amazing education nonprofit that you simply must check out. In April 2009 we had our first daughter, Eliza, & she changed our world! This July we welcomed our second daughter, Matilda!

This blog is our way of documenting life as we grow. We hope along the way you find it interesting, & that one day our children can look back & enjoy. This is not our entire life account, but simply snapshots where we share our highs & even some lows along the way. Our greatest hope is that we glorify God each day, but quickly recognize how we fall short & need a Savior. There is a peace we find in knowing that our debts have been paid, & we are free. We pray that through Him we can love our children, family, & our community well.
