J Man turns 1!

On Saturday the J Man turned one year old. It is hard to believe it has been a year now since his birth. I look back on his birth with such tremendous gratitude to our Lord and Savior for protecting us and watching over our family. He clearly has big plans for us to be used for His glory as husband and wife and as a family. Some dear friends had us over for taco dinner and ice cream cake. They were instrumental in supporting us through his birth and helped organize our church support for months after we had the J Man. I would not have wanted it any other way than to celebrate the gift of his life with them on his first birthday. The J Man is such a sweet little boy. He is the smallest of our babies and is a delight. He loves his big brother and sister and he laughs at them often. He is already making car sounds and mimicking his big brother as he has watched the K Man play with cars and has learned how to do the same. He is not walking yet but is very fast at crawling. He can pull up and walk around the couch holding onto it. He says dada and often signs for more or all done when he is finished eating. He often gets left alone being the third child and he seems to be okay with it. He looks just like his daddy, which makes my heart melt. I am grateful beyond words to be married to such an amazing husband and father, and it is such a gift to parent these little people God has entrusted to us until they leave our nest and fly to develop on their own and make a mark on this world for His glory. 

We love you J Man. Happy 1st Birthday, buddy!
