First Birthday

It is so hard to believe the our little guy is one! We are so appreciative of everyone who came to celebrate with us, in addition to all the help and prayers we've gotten over the course of the year.

For his party, we had kiddos over to play in the pool and blow bubbles... then we cooked out. It was great to see people from all aspects of our life together! He loved his cupcake - I made them from scratch! They were SO good!

I am reminded of God's goodness every time I get a smile from our little guy; every time he cuddles after nap time, and every time he discovers new things. Watch out world, here come Joshua!

Savannah

For our mini-vacation this year, we went to Savannah. Keith and I had gone two years ago and loved it so much that we had to go again! This time, we included the beach into our trip, and we were so surprised (and pleased) by how much Joshua loved it. I couldn't keep him still - he wanted to crawl all over the sand, and before I could say, "wait!," he was crawling to the water.

We also went to Paula Dean's restaurant, and it was so good! It was definitely worth Keith getting up and going to put our name on the list. We didn't have to wait long at all since he did this - I was very thankful.

We left on Sunday afternoon, and came back on Wednesday... only to get ready for Joshua's first birthday party on Sunday, with family coming in from GA on Friday. We have been one busy family!
