Ethan turns One!

This past weekend our little man Ethan celebrated his 1st Birthday. He was born on July 26 around 8am at Medical City of Dallas. He weighed 6lbs 9 oz and was 19 inches in length. At his wellness visit today, he weighed in at 21.8oz and 30" in length. He's not walking but getting so close.


To celebrate,we had a small backyard bash with a few friends and family. Grandma and Grandpa visited from McAllen. They stayed for a week and Great Aunt & Uncle, Mary and Robert also came for the day all the way from Copperas Cove. With the Texas heat, I wasn't sure how long we would all last outside but the water slide bounce house kept all the kiddos occupied. There were a few friends and family that couldn't join us for his celebration and they were missed especially our dear friends Logan and Landon who moved to Conneticut in June.






There were moments during his little party that I would glance over at our little boy and just be in awe of God's amazing love and faithfulness. Ethan is our 2nd miracle baby as so was our first, Roman. We stood on faith (and sometimes it was very little) and trusted that God would bless us with another healthy beautiful baby. It seems like the past 12 months have flown by so quickly and it was yesterday that we were at the hospital holding him in our arms for the very first time. Thank you, Lord, for allowing us an opportunity to raise our two precious sons. They take our breath away and every time we look into their eyes we are reminded of how much you love us!

Thank you to all for sharing in our joy and for keeping our little boys in your prayers!!
