Hello blogger friends!
I know it has been way too long since I last blogged. It seems harder and harder to find time to get things fun things like blogging accomplished. It has been on my to-do-list which never seems to get smaller.
I'm not complaining- I love our life and the craziness it brings.

I have a lot to blog about- but want to start with an overview of our last year with our firstborn Adam James. His birthday was May 29. We had a great time and a great weekend with friends and family. ( I will post more about that later!)
To start, look at Adam's first month picture with his teddy bear to his last 12-month picture. It makes me want to cry. He grew so quickly!

Here are some of our favorite pictures throughout the year. I have too many to count, but will post the best of the best, in our opinion at least!
After a great labor, and 2 hours of pushing, us examining our precious son and realizing he has a dimple!
Amos and I had such a great year as first-time parents. God blessed us with such a precious baby. He has been such an awesome addition to our small family. Every month has brought more fun and adventure. Adam has gone to a tiny, frail baby to a big 1-year old who is practically running around our home. He loves his parents and a lot of other family and friends. He greets everyone he comes across, at the store or church or wherever he is. He usually gets greeted with a smile and a compliment of how adorable he is. We think so!He stared walking around 11-months and has gotten so good at it. He isn't crawling much anymore. He loves to move quickly.
Adam is a good sleeper ( probably around 12-13 hrs per night), a great eater ( he eats almost anything I put on his plate), a great entertainer ( today he learned that if his stomach hit the table then the table moved which moved the flower centerpiece), a great love ( he is always up for hugs and kisses), a big talker ( besides him saying a lot of words we don't understand, he says uh-oh meaning oops, bye-bye, momma, dada, he tries to say grandma, and says papa a lot), a great source of joy for us and anyone he meets, and just such a blessing.
We pray for him continually....and pray that we can be good parents for this precious boy.
This first year has been amazing, and look forward to the many other years we will have from now on.
Happy Birthday Adam! We love you!!!

YAY RACHEL! What a beautiful year you guys have had - and a beautiful son. :) I can't believe I haven't met him, we'll have to hang out soon after I get home so we can get acquainted!
Thank you for sharing your sweet little son through this year. I can tell he's a happy boy! And no wonder with such a super mom and dad. You seem to be enjoying the ride well. I hope so because it goes by in a speedy blur, as I'm sure you've already figured out.
Happy Birthday sweet boy! Hope it was a great one. We wish we could have been there to celebrate. Love all the pictures of your precious smile :)
