Sad to say...

....that it's been far too long since my last post. So much has happened, and our sweet baby, Beau, will be a year old next week. This past year has been one of challenge, change, and extreme support and love. My husband and I had no idea what bringing another baby into our home would do to our life, but we wouldn't change it for anything. It has been an amazingly, awesome experience getting to know sweet Beau, and to watch him grow. He has brought so much joy, so many laughs, and so much love, that we didn't even know we had. He is Jack's little shadow, daddy's little buddy, and a mama's boy. He crawls like lightening, and walks a bit off balance. He pulls on my pant leg every time I'm in the kitchen, and wants to to play tackle with daddy and his big brother. He loves to read books, and point at everything he sees. He races to the door when daddy gets home awaiting his turn to hug and kiss him. He's eating all sorts of foods, but still LOVES his bottle. His favorites are pears, peaches, strawberries, chicken, and cheerios. He is our little tough guy, our little adventurer, and we LOVE HIM.

Jack, is the child that no matter what, captures my heart. I'd be lying if I said 3, wasn't a hard age, it is more challenging than any other, but it's also so heartwarming. Listening isn't his best quality, but he truly is a polite, kind-hearted, and caring little boy. I've been sick this week and he comes over, pats my arm and kisses my head, and say's, "feel better soon, mommy." He used his manners last night to the point that I would have done anything he asked just to hear him say, "Please may I have", one more time. :) Jack, loves his daddy and sometimes has a hard time saying goodbye in the mornings, which makes work difficult at times for Dad. He loves the days that Daddy takes him to work with him, he enjoys going to school, he likes to watch Fireman Sam and Special Agent Oso. He sings the songs on the radio, and is now teaching them to his brother (or so he says). He talks about, and knows about God, and I cherish the times we have each week at church as a family. He makes me so proud, and I cherish everyday that I have with him, and thank God for entrusting me with such a special little boy.
