One-Year-Old Pics

Hard to believe he is a year old already. He has been changing a lot recently. Although, he is not yet walking, he is getting into everything and exploring everything. One of his favorite activities at the moment is to sit in the driver seat of the car and pretend he is driving. His favorite book is I Love You Through and Through by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak. However, his favorite book always seems to be changing. Max also loves to taste all that mom and dad eat and drink. This morning he was getting into dad's coffee. The one thing that never leaves his side, is his fork. He eats with it, plays with it, takes a bath with it and sleeps with it. I can only imagine what the next year is going to be like.

Happy Birthday Joey!

To my dear hubby! Happy Birthday, my love. I pray that God would show himself to you in a mighty way this coming year. You are a wonderful husband and daddy. I couldn't have asked for more. Alles Liebe zum Geburtstag!

Enjoying November

Max loves going outside, especially if Dash is around. I got this picture while Dash was making Max smile and really happy (as you can tell.) Some of our neighbors got some alpacas recently so we are going over to see them this evening since Max is into animals so much right now. Look for some pics in the near future.

Assessing the Damage

Ok, so the title is a little dramatic, but I will say that I am really bumbed! Our dear computer got a virus last week, and eventhough we did our best to salvage our files, we were unsuccessful. For all of you moms out there, that means Max's baby pics are gone! :-( I cried a little. Well, I am very thankful that we have this blog because that means we still have quite a few pics of Max. However, we didn't put all of the pics on the blog, and my heart aches about the ones that were lost. Lesson learned: don't only save important files on the hard drive. My mom has been great though. She thought they had around 50 pics of Max, and it has ended up being around 130. Hmm, thank God for grandparents!! Love you, mom and dad. (I love you too, Michi!)

Once we find out what we still have, I'll be posting more pics on the blog. Until then, keep putting pics of your kids on your blogs, so we can enjoy their beautiful faces. Love you all!
