1 Year and 1 Day Now!

I can't miss this one. All the rest of the fun to report will have to wait, but this one is a must!


My sweet baby boy finally reached the 1 year mark on this special Easter day. His birthday won't fall on Easter every year, but it was special to know that his first birthday was Easter. You all know what a remarkable and important journey we traveled to have this little spirit join our home. So, I think that it is a special blessing to have his first birthday on Easter. I am reminded of how much our Savior loves us, and how much he has done for us, and continues to do for us. I know that our Savior lives and I see his hand in my life daily. But none has been more obvious to me, then to look upon this beautiful little boy. He truly is a gift from heaven.

I tried to keep him a baby,
but he just wouldn't have it.
Eager to learn all that life offers,
I think will be a theme for him.

Walking, and talking
are more than a glimpse today.
He sparkles with laughter and
ponders on what big brother says.
Sister's tumbling, he must try.
He can't wait till he can ask why?

The beauty of the outdoors entice,
I wonder where this will take him.
I see a future full of wit and will.
Will I ever be able to keep him still?

I'm sure I cannot, for a long time he did wait
To be here, to love, to live, to know.
A little boy on his journey to be a man.
May he love his Savior,
and may his path be with Him
Wherever he goes!

Happy Birthday my Esaias!
Easter Sunday!

This was the best we could get of all three. Some years it works, some it doesn't!

Can we say mischievous!?!

I had to throw in the "bonding with Uncle Marcus" pictures. Esaias was so tired at the end of the day on Saturday after his birthday party. Marcus was holding him, letting him experience the music coming from his earphones. Esaias loved sitting and relaxing to some tunes!

And then again... can we say cute!?!

Not Quite Yet!

Those of you wondering why I haven't posted yet, must know that all my free time (if that's what you call it?) is spent working on finishing up my classes for my masters. I was able to get 1 down last Saturday, but I still have 1 to go. That will leave me with just 2 classes between May 14th and July 23rd. I will still have the "big" presentation to do in the fall, but I will basically be done in July!! It's only that thought that's pushin' me on! So, I have a camera and video camera full of pictures storing fun events that the kids are doing, but it will have to wait another week or so, before I can blog them. I look forward to being able to think about those fun things, and not the research for my masters! 'Till then!
