Family Pictures

If you know my sister you hopefully think that she is a great photographer. It is a love that she has picked up, and really does an amazing job. I love her dearly, and she captures my boy and our family perfectly with these photos.

Christmas Catch Up

The best part was getting to spend some quality time with our families. We did Christmas eve with the Lockhart's, and Christmas day with the Courtney's. Davy did have to work on Christmas day, but my family did a good job keeping our minds off of that. It really didn't feel like Christmas this year, and well....in fact because it came around so fast, we just really weren't prepared for it. I am not even talking about all the shopping, or cooking, or decorating. I am talking about preparing our hearts for the celebration of Christ's birth. I have to say that I did a poor job of not getting caught up in all the other things of life to just soak in the realization that without this day our lives would not be what they are. It was difficult this year...family heartache....busy "almost" one year old...shuffling schedules....and other non significant things that can take a hold and became what this human shell feels is significant. So in an attempt to prolong Christmas I still have my nativity scene up. It doesn't matter when you celebrate it, we should really consider EVERYDAY!! That is what I am doing, and also in an attempt to not get caught up in the un-decorating blues. So without being to much of a pessimist. I am going to show you one of our many many blessings. With much love.

Birthday Boy

I can't even believe it, my baby turned 1!!!!! How did this past year go by so fast? We celebrated with family and friends, the weather was beautiful for January, and are so blessed to have had the most amazing year with our little guy. At his first year check up he weighs 24 lbs, and is 31 inches long. He loves to mimic most things that you say, and really enjoys letting his preferences be known. Here are some pictures of his party.

There's more where that came from.

Just couldn't wait to show this picture. (My sister is amazing)
