Who's that kid with the Oreo cookie?

Austin saw an Oreo on the counter and he grabbed it. Mind you, I didn't take it back like I should have because I had a few more reports to type (good mom, I know) and thought he'd be entertained by it for awhile. Entertained he was! That was a fun one to clean up.

Austin's 1 year old questions

Many years ago, I asked my kids questions either yearly or twice a year when they were younger to see how they changed. Here's Austin's 1-year-old questions. Since he can't talk more than to say, "dad," they are my answers for him!

First Days of School

This August, Tyson entered the second grade. One week later, Emma entered kindergarten. It's awesome having them going to the same school so they can walk together. Here's their pictures!

Austin's birthday parties

Austin is 1 (tomorrow-August 5)

Can it really be possible that one year ago tonight I was in the hospital knowing that my last born would be born the following day? It just seems like yesterday, really. Justin and I debated the addition of a third child to our family for awhile, but now I can't imagine our family without Austin in it. He's such an amazing child who is just so happy and full of love. The problems that surrounded his entry to this world will forever be small in comparison to the addition that he has brought to us. I love every new phase of his life, but secretly mourn that each stage passed is one that I will never again experience. When I look at this boy's smile, I say a silent prayer thanking my Heavenly Father for knowing that we needed this child!
