one very special year

Happy Happy Birthday Michael Lance!


I can not believe that this day has come so fast! Everyone says it goes by way too fast and until you experience it, you never know exactly how fast your baby can grow. Wow, what a difference a year can make.

We were forever changed on March 5, 2009. We now know the unconditional love someone can have.


And today, our life is so much more special because of this sweet boy. We are so thankful to God that we were given this opportunity to be his parents, and so thankful for a healthy boy.

All the sweet memories will forever be etched in our minds and hearts. We cannot wait for all the memories that will be made.


This boy has grown and learned so much lately. He is now walking! Yes, it started about 2-3 weeks ago. He had been taking a few steps, but then one day he decided to go across the room. He loves this new freedom. He hasn't learned how to just stand without pulling up on something, but it won't be long.

He got his first haircut...don't you think he needed one??!?

He loves balls...basketballs, baseballs, footballs...he is his daddy's son!

He still eats so good...except when he falls asleep.

We are running out of high places to put things. He can stand on his tippy toes and reach until he can get whatever he wants.

He LOVES to be outside...cries when we come in.

Happy Birthday sweet boy....We love you!!!

(birthday party tomorrow...pictures coming soon!)
