Sawyer's First Birthday

Hard to believe how fast a year can go. Our little guy is a year old...and walking to beat the band. He's such a cutie and much loved by all.

We celebrated his birthday with family on October 11th. We all had a great time. His brothers and cousins were more interested in his presents than he was...not a big surprise though. He loved his cake...especially the icing. It didn't take him long to figure out that he could play with it and eat it.

Can't believe a year has gone by...I can still clearly remember the night Sawyer was born and the first time I held him in my arms. He was such a big guy. We knew right from the start that he was something special. He barely cried and also had such a sweet disposition. He truly is a gift from God. I couldn't imagine our family without our little Noah Sawyer!

PS Craig and I got to see Sawyer take his first steps. We were all sitting in the living room one evening during the first week of October. I was in the chair and a half...Craig was on the floor with Sawyer. Sawyer stood up and and took three steps to Craig. It was so cool. The next day, he took three steps to Connor. Connor loved it! Before long Sawyer was taking over!

It's been a long time....

I can't believe how long its been since i blogged. I feel bad...especially since so much has been happening at home. I'm afraid I'll start to forget stuff...okay, I guess the better statement is..I'm afraid of how much I'll forget.

Well, its been a busy few months.

First of, we're expecting baby #4. Crazy, I know. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I know we'll be okay, but the thought of another person to take care of is a bit overwhelming. No doubt, we have enough love to give....its just the sleep I don't want to give up. Anyway, I know its in God's plan for us to have another child and my prayer is for a healthy baby.

The boys enjoyed getting ready for fall. They especially enjoyed a trip to our neighbors to pick out pumpkins and gourds.

Craig's sister Lynn got married in September. Thanks to my Dad and sisters, it marked the first night away Craig and I have had together without the boys since Connor was born. The wedding was lovely and we had a great time in the Finger Lakes of New York.

Of course, Sawyer's First Birthday was a big deal. I'll post those pictures next.
