So much in so little time...

Hi. We have been really busy lately and we are very sorry we haven't updated our photo galleries yet.
Last weekend we went to Galveston to visit Kim, Eric, Daniel and Phillip and Kevin got his first trip to the ocean. On Sunday we had a great Easter and on Thursday Kevin turned 4 months old. So as you can see we have had a very busy week.
Hopefully we will have photos posted soon of our adventures!
At Kevin's 4 month Doctor appointment we found out he now weighs 17lbs 15oz, he is in the 90th percentile for his age group (he is such a cute chunky guy!). For his height he is in the 50th percentile. We have also talked to the Dr and have decided that sometime after his 5 month birthday we will try him on real food.
We will try and post some photos in Steve's photo gallery soon, included we will have ocean, Easter and birthday photos.
:-) Amy

One year ago today...

One year ago today we found out I was pregnant. It is crazy to think of everything that has happened since then. I remember feeling so giddy and giggling uncontrollably after my second test. But I still couldn't fully believe it so I waited a few hours and took another test. Positive! And now we have this beautiful baby boy that is almost 4 months old! This has definately been one fantastic year.

Kevin's Baptism

We were very excited that Kevin got baptised this weekend. We went to Smithville to have Pastor Karen Boehk from the First United Methodist Church baptise him. Pastor Karen married us almost two years ago and we thougth it would be great if she baptised Kevin too. The service began at 10:30 and Kevin was on his best behavior. He loved it when Pastor Karen walked him around the sanctuary and he didn't cry when his head got wet.

After the service we all got together at Uncle Dennis and Aunt June's house. We had a great time eatting lunch and talking to everyone. It was an amazing day. Kurt Su took some great photos of the day and passed them along to us. You can find them in my photo gallery.

For Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
The purpose of this blog is for me to catalog what you do, what milestones you accomplish, and little stories for you. I want it to be a window into your life as you grow up. I want to share my dreams, my hopes and my aspirations with you. While also recording your funny and shocking moments. For the time being this blog is just from me to you. But I am sure that in time it will be opened to others.

Right now you are a little over two. These are the years you won't remember. So I want to write down stories for you so you can at least know what you did and what you were like at this age. And selfishly so I can look back and remember my amazing and sweet little boy. Each day with you is such an adventure, most of the time we are having a blast, while at other times I am exacerbated with you. When you are a teenager and I am at a loss, I want to look back at these times and remember the little boy who loves to cuddle and sits on my lap so I can read him stories.

I am going to try very hard to keep up with this blog and to do my best to recapture the last two years.

My sweet, wonderful, amazing little boy, I love you so much! I want to write you more, but you have just woken up from your nap, and you are sitting at your bedroom door calling for me in this pitiful little voice. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" So I am off to rescue you and give you a huge hug.

Long before I started this blog for you I have had a blog to keep our families and friends updated. In order to try and update the last two years I have copied all of those posts here for you to see. There are also some posts on here that are written just to you. They haven't been shared with anyone else.

I love you so much!

Love,
Mommy!
