Outside Adventures


I took the first 2 pics on a day when it had finally cooled off. It felt like the 1st day of Fall, so Max and I had to go out and enjoy the cool air. This was also one of his first times to explore the front yard.
Here Max, Dash and I are getting ready to take a walk in the rain. It was a big hit!!
Here he is the back yard. Dada was doing some yard work and Mama was picking up pecans. So Max had fun standing and pretending he was sword fighting.

One Year Ago Today

As I got Max out of the car on this chilly yet sunny Autumn morning, my mind wandered back to a year ago. I had already finished teaching and was just waiting for the arrival of our dear little boy. I remember journaling and asking God for a safe and soon delivery. That afternoon, a very sunny day, I drove to visit Lainie at CIU, and it was there that the first signs of labor began. So it was one year ago today that the journey of motherhood began in full force. It has been an amazing trip so far, and I count myself very blessed to have such and amazing and sweet little boy. (Although he is very upset as I write this because he doesn't want to take his nap. ) Tomorrow at 2:39 PM Max will have been living on this earth for exactly one year. We are going to celebrate on Saturday, so keep looking for Birthday pictures. Thanks to all of you who have blessed us and him in so many ways. We love you.
