Look who's 1

Exactly one year ago, our son was born. 
I can not imagine our life without him.  Dylan gets up every morning and looks for this little man to say hello.  Tyler is in love with the only person in this house who LOVES his enthusiasm about everything and can match his energy level. 
WE.
ARE.
BLESSED!

Here are pictures of our little man through the year :

Our little peanut at 3 days old!



So little only 5.9lbs here (at 1 month)

This year he has grown in leaps and bounds

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR PRECIOUS MASON!!!

Apple Picking

So in New England, fall just isn't the same if you don't go apple picking.  We tried somewhere new this year.  We picked a good day to go because it was the last day of pick-u-own apples. 

Notice sweet baby is sleeping...almost the whole trip...so I had to improvise on his apple picking pictures:

He did wake up right at the end for a few fun hay moments

He's smiling through the Paci

so excited to play with hay!

And a few fun kiddo pictures (I LOVE the last one):

Happy Fall Y'all!!

So much Love!

When the Lord put on our hearts this journey of adoption we had no idea how it would transform our faith, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and well just about everyone else who meets Mason. 

This weekend we had an opportunity to celebrate Mason joining our family and turning one (which he does at the end of the month). 
We got to celebrate with all of those I listed above
and
it
was
great!

There is so much love that surrounds this little man.  

All who came offered wishes and prayers for his up coming years.  In our world it truly takes a village to raise our children and we are so greatfully blessed that this is our village. 

Thank you all who have loved on our little one.  Our family has witnessed unbelievable generosity and support of so many and we have enjoyed seeing God's love in action!

We are so grateful and we feel the LOVE!

 

Sleep. where forth art thou?

My cute little is 11 months old...11 months, not days, not weeks MONTHS!  So how this little man has manged to go from the best sleeper to my worst sleeper is beyond me. 
I am so very proud of all the progress my little nugget has made.  I can't help but wish conquering sleep will one day become a priority for Masi Moo but until then, I will get by on chocolate and baby smooches.

My fun

I have my fall candle burning, hot chocolate in my hand, my special pen ready.....it's back to school paperwork time !! :o)
