April Craziness!

The countdown is on! Twenty days until graduation! Mark your calendars!


We found out this week that Tif passed her big comprehensive exam that she took at the beginning April; maybe this will subside the bad dreams of her having to call everyone to tell them that she failed and would not be graduating.

Finally! Here are the pictures from our crazy, crazy April!

This is one of our first "real" family pictures...

Too much fun at Nanny's...

Me-ma and Papa...


We love Easter! Thank you to everyone for a wonderful holiday. We are so excited that next year we will be in Amarillo and get to spend longer with everyone!

There are just no words for the joy that Eli brings to our lives. So, we will try to convey our joy with pictures. Everyday we all learn something new...he brings so much wonder and excitement to every little moment. Truly, it doesn't get any better than this. It is amazing how much your perspective changes with a child. We are so very grateful for everything that we have; we know that we don't deserve any of these wonderful blessings, we are just grateful.

We know that plenty of people thought that we were crazy for planning to have a child before we both graduated, but for what it is worth, we wouldn't have done it any other way. Has it been hard- you better believe it. For all of the hard times, stress and late nights, these are the moments that make it worth our while.

Eli update!

Hello!

Sorry for the huge delay in postings, but things are pretty crazy around the Pirtle house. As soon as we can get all of our photos re-sized we will put them up...until then, I will leave you with this long (about 6 min), completely unedited video that we shot yesterday. We can't believe how big Eli is getting! He is just such a joy and blessing in our lives...we are so grateful.

(please forgive my annoying voice in the video!)
