Juggling Our Way Through Life

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you God for sending your son Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice-what an amazing gift. I am reminded at this time how truly blessed I am-amazing family, wonderful husband, and adorable son. Thanks be to God for all the blessings. Hope you all enjoy this time with family and friends! God bless us one and all and may we remember the true reason we celebrate this time of year-Jesus!

Erin is a dear, sweet friend that I have known since I was a little girl. We used to play tag and ride three wheelers in the neighborhood we grew up in. Erin's and Mark's sweet baby girl, Abigail came into the world on December 19. We are so excited for them and know that she's got an amazing set of parents! Welcome Abigail!

This was actually Cale eating his first birthday cake that we got him on his actual birthday. He made an absolute mess, but it was so fun!

This Saturday we had a bunch of friends and family over to celebrate Cale's 1st birthday. It was so much fun. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. And the love they pour out on Cale-it's awesome! Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us and to those that helped with the party. Here are some pictures.



The cake

We asked people to bring canned goods to donate to a local food pantry-our guests rock-look at all of those canned goods!

Josh performed an amazing show-thanks so much Josh!

It's official, we have a one year old. Didn't get a chance to post yesterday, it was a crazy day filled with a birthday lunch at mommy's office, dinner with mommy and daddy, getting Christmas pics for the Christmas card and then letting Cale go at it with a little cake-that was hilarious and disgusting! Happy Birthday little man. Can't wait for the continued journey through life with us. Your smile melts my heart, your laugh is contagious, the way you get excited about things and bounce up and down or clap brings joy, your talking and yell talking cracks me up, your snuggles are priceless, and you in general are the most amazing gift your mommy and daddy could ever have! We love you dearly. Photos to come later tonight!
