A Day in the Life

When Jonathan was almost 8 months old, I posted the first A Day in the Life. These posts chronicle Jonathan’s day, every hour on the hour, while he’s awake. I think it will be fun to be able to look back on these posts and see how his days change as he grows older. 7:00am […]

Jonathan’s First Birthday

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. – Psalm 139:19 On Saturday, we celebrated Jonathan’s First Birthday.

Seven Months

Joy. It’s the word that sums up the last seven months. Jonathan has brought so much joy to our lives and the lives of those closest to us. His smile is infectious and his giggle is probably my favorite sound in the entire world. No one makes him laugh like Stephen does, and my heart […]

Six Months

Six months. One half of a year. As I sit here, watching our six month old son happily entertain himself in his exersaucer, I can’t believe that half of his first year of life has passed. He’s grown and changed so much during the last 181 days. He gets more handsome every day. Okay, I […]
