Puzzle

Each of the little people have very different personalities. It's interesting to see each one develop and grow as the individual grows.

Gavin is smart as a whip. The kind of smart that leads you to believe he's much older than his physical age. He's a free spirit, letting his creativity and imagination take him quickly from one thing to the next. He's quite easy to distract... He is so very sweet, has a tender heart and is thoughtful through and through.

Benett is predictably unpredictable. He's hilariously funny, absolute in his resolve, difficult to distract and has THE best facial expressions.

Miss Ellie is our independent little soul. She's got a mind of her own and is learning that she likes to tease. She scares me already. I'm not sure how much sleep I'm going to get in the next 16 years... I guess that's karma.

I'm not sure that our personalities have changed, but Monte and I are growing and changing right along with the little ones.

All five of us are quite different. We're like pieces of a puzzle. Each with a different shape, but collectively fitting together perfectly, to create the picture that is our family.
