... it was April. Thomas was 4 months old. We were living w/ coco & hatty while our house was being prepped for move in.
We finally moved into our home and still "prepping", unpacking, painting, cleaning, need of a few remodeling, hanging pictures.. you get the idea. There is still a lot of work to be done. But, we love our home. We love our neighborhood. I have plenty of ideas for decorating, but that would require six lucky numbers to hit the lottery. A girl can dream. Point is we love our home that the Lord has blessed us with and we are excited about all the memories we will create here.
All in our little family is healthy and happy, what more can we ask for. Health alone is a blessing and we do not take it for granted.
Here is a recap of our action packed Spring and Summer 2009. Starting w/ most recent:
T5 9 month bday. About 21 lbs

My handsome Hatfield boys. The loves of my life. Thomas loves to suck his thumb and pinch his neck at the same time.. crazy, but so cute.

May 09. 5 months bday. Before we moved into our new home. Taken at Coco & Hatty's
Wow, Where does the time go. Seriously! life w/ baby, work, and a move certainly have kept us on our toes. I love every minute of it. Yes, there are some days I get flustered because I don't come close to accomplishing anything on my to do list, but I try to savor every precious moment w/ my family. I love Tommy more today than the day we exchanged vows. I love Thomas more than I ever thought possible. And I have fallen more in love w/ The God who created them both and has given me this the honor of being their wife and mother.
I promise to blog more often... for the few family and friends that care. Actually I know there are a few who do care because you want updates on our Love bug, T5. He just celebrated his 10 month bday and is still a very happy baby. Loves to smile for the camera, loves cars (and everything becomes a car he can push around and make vroom room noises), loves books, loves all food, loves to feed himself, and is showing interest in walking. What a precious joy.
Thank God for being a father that knows me better than I know myself. For rewarding me a beautiful, healthy family.
