Our lives have been forever changed by this sweet little boy! He's so much fun, so relaxed, always happy. He makes being a mama very easy.
And thank goodness for that; because nothing else has been easy about this season of life we're in.
Between apartment living, raising a toddler, and planning our dream home we've had our hands quite full. But.... "full hands, happy hearts"
Speaking of hands....
He still has tiny dimples in his and I could hold them all. day. long.
In the midst of chaos, we've still had so many sweet moments with these two:
There are some days when the hours seem crazy long and others days when they fly by all too quickly. But there's few nothing better than being a wife to Michael and a mom to these sweet faces- no matter what kind of day it is.
So we learn....
We learn to breathe through all sorts of tantrums.
To make tough decisions for our little loves.
To embrace every ounce of their personalities: all the zeal and all of the opinions!
To put the needs of these tiny people ahead of our own.
To show so much grace- to ourselves and to them.
And to LOVE WELL!
We are learning, our Father is teaching.
I am so grateful that all four of us have a Father who can guide our family to places that we've not yet even imagined. 
Psalm 107:29
"He hushes the storm to a calm and to a gentle whisper, so that the waves of the sea are still."
So thankful for quiet moments like this even in this busy season.
And then there's our vivacious and spirited little Elle who reminds us of His JOY constantly. She lives life out loud, loves hard, and has some BIG feelings!
I'm so thankful for that! Otherwise I may be tempted to over-analyze every single detail of our renovation, forgetting about what's truly important.
This girl keeps us real!
Because who has time to discuss floor stains in detail when you're chasing a covered-in-mud toddler?
It'll be what it'll be and we'll be blessed to call this little piece of earth our home.
We'll be back at Corradale before you know it.
But I have a feeling when these littles are all grown up, we'll look back on these days with fondness (and a whole lotta mud!)
Love,
The Knotts Crew
Elle, Beckham, Michael & Emily
