Happy Birthday John William

It's hard for me to believe that we have a one year old!  This year has flown by, and our sweet baby is becoming a toddler right before our eyes.  All day today I've been thinking last year at this time I was... headed to the doctors office... being wheeled to labor and delivery... letting everyone know that our baby boy was coming!  You can read about John William's actual birth day and days to follow here and here (warning: those are lengthy posts!)

We are so thankful for the year we have had with our sweet baby boy.  I've been reminded over the past year just how blessed we are to have a happy-healthy baby boy.  We can't thank God enough for this blessing and gift he has given us.  He has entrusted us with this sweet one, and we pray that we can teach Him to be the Godly man we know He can be, and to show him all about grace, forgiveness, and to love Jesus.

We are so excited about the years to come, and are loving each stage that has come our way.  John William has made our family extremely happy and we couldn't imagine life without him!  Here's a few pictures of this past year...
