Happy Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for so many things...or should I say people.?.? I AM thankful for the "things" that the Lord has blessed my little family with, but none of those "things" would matter if I didn't have the people I love the most to share them with. So today...and everyday...I am so thankful for my husband, who cares so much for me and our two sons, my two handsome boys...who are my world, and our crazy families that are always there for us with support and unconditional love. Jeff and I (and our boys) are very blessed to have a family like ours. We may not be rich in the world's opinion, but we are richly blessed where it matters the most...we have family. Even though I am really looking forward to eating some awesome food tomorrow...I am even more excited to be eating that plate (maybe 2 plates;) beside some of the people that mean the most to me. So...enjoy the yummy food tomorrow, but don't forget to be thankful for the people you are sharing it with. Happy Thanksgiving!

Little Brother
Just officially announcing the arrival of our newest member of our family...
Madox Jeffrey was born September 18th (my Dad's birthday and one day after Mason's) at 1:43 pm...weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. Big brother Mason has his occasional "jealous" moments, but overall is doing awesome! Jeff and I prepared for the worst so we have been quite surprised at how well Mason has adjusted and how much he already cares about his baby "butter."

Back to Blogging
What's been going on?
So much has been going on with our family that I took some time off from blogging. This wasn't on purpose...my little man demanded a lot of my time and attention and I never found time to sit down and blog. Now, I hope to be back in the swing of things since my summer vacation starts in a couple of weeks and Mason is not in need of my attention as much now.
A recap...
In July, Jeff and I had the opportunity to purchase a new house in our same neighborhood and so we decided to put our house on the market and sold it within a few weeks. That is a long story and a true miracle the way it all happened. In August, we moved into our new home and celebrated Mason's first birthday there in September.
Our family took our annual trip to the beach in October and Mason and my grandmother got to touch the ocean for the first time. Mason loved it! I can't wait to take him back this summer.
November and December was packed full with holiday festivities and Mason enjoyed Christmas and we enjoyed watching him.
And that brings us to January...
Jeff and I found out that we are expecting another little blessing in September!
Warmest,
Michele

In February we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time...actually it was 2 years and 1 day to the day that we heard Mason's. It is very likely they will share a birthday:) Also, Jeff's baseball season started in February and is on going. This month we had our first-trimester screening and everything came back normal...and we are very thankful. This coming week is my spring break and I can not wait to spend it with my guys...and some blogging!

8 Months
Mason is 8 months old and doing all kinds of new things. It is so amazing to watch him experience this world for the first time. He is learning something new, it seems like everyday.
What is Mason up to?
*He is loving his walker
*He has specific toys that he really loves and when you give them to him it makes him smile
*He is already a typical boy and loves the dump truck that Papaw bought for him
*He loves to be outside and he likes to watch Doc (our dog)
*He likes to take a bath, but he HATES to burp
*He likes to touch people's face and if a woman is holding him, he always looks for her earrings and he looks all confused when someone is wearing a hat
*He says "mama" all the time and "dada" on most days
*He likes to throw his head back when he is upset about something (hoping he quits doing this soon)
*He cries when someone takes a toy away
*He sleeps beside us in his pack'n play and ends up in the bed with us by 3:00 am or 4:00 am
*He does really well in restaurants and loves to stare at people...he has captured the attention of many female waitresses at several different places we eat...they love on him every time we are there
*His first tooth has been "coming in" for several weeks and we are all praying it breaks through soon...for all our sakes!
*He still loves to nurse...I'm really going to miss this when it's time to stop:(
*He makes really funny faces when he eats something new...and usually gags a little
*He loves music and likes to watch "Elmo" on Daddy's iphone
*He reaches for things and people he wants...it's the sweetest thing ever!

I had to give him the remote to keep him still long enough to get some 8 Month pictures
Loving his walker 
Loves to be outside
Play time:)
Mason doesn't like it when someone takes his toy...watching Mason and Jospeh play is so funny
My little man:)

Mason's First Easter
Our first Easter with Mason is one that we will always remember! Last year, at Easter I was pregnant and didn't know if we were having a boy or girl. What a difference a year makes!
Going to see the Easter Bunny with Mommy and Daddy 
The night before Easter...playing with his eggs!
Our Easter festivites Sunday began with Mason (or Mommy) getting to open his Easter basket, then we attended my home church's Easter service. After that, we ate with the entire family at my uncle's house and then we went to my parents so Mason could open his basket from them... which included Mason having a taste of chocolate for the first time.
Mason and his first Easter basket
Daddy and Mason
Aunt Peppy showing Mason the cows
Aunt Peppy and Joseph
Family...feeding the cows
Daddy riding the four-wheeler
First taste of chocolate and, of course, he loved it!
Speedo's:)
Even though our Easter was busy, I took some time to reflect on the true meaning of the day. It is humbling to know that someone willingly gave their life for mine. This Easter, I am so thankful that I serve a living God who keeps His promises...who gave me my own son...who knows my hearts desire.
Mason's Easter attire included something old...my brother's bowtie:)
7 Months
My baby boy turned 7 months on the 17th! I can not believe it was 7 months ago that we met for the first time! I feel like he has been a part of me my whole life.
He loves chewing on his fingers! We think he is cutting teeth!
He has such a cute little smile:)
Mason loves, loves, loves feet and not just his! He loves to look at my toenail polish!
FEET!
I can't believe that in less than 5 months this little guy will be one year old! 
Warmest,
Michele
