Warren's Almost the BIG "ONE"

Yeah it's true he is almost "1"
It does not seem possible that he is almost one. It just seems like yesterday we found out he was on the way. Come and help us celebrate Warren's B-day if you can!

Sad Day!

I am sad to write that Dr. K passed away this evening. As most know he has been fighting esophageal cancer for the past several months. Tonight he suffers no more, but I am sure he is rejoicing in heaven. He was a wonderful person who cared for many children during his career. He has traveled many roads during his life, but they all had one focus and that was to care for others. He has taught me so much over the last 6 years. Most of all he has taught me that caring for God's children is a precious gift. I have been blessed to have shared in his life and had him to be a part of mine. He is truly a part of my family. He is irreplaceable---as many have said--They just don't make them like him anymore--that could not be more true. Please keep his family in your prayers. He will be truly missed in our office, hospital, and community.-----Brenda

Warren's First Steps

Warren took his first steps last night just before bathtime. We were in the bathroom getting ready to get into the tub. He was standing beside me and took 2-3 steps from the toilet to the tub. He was so excited he didn't know what to do with himself (it was either that or when I yelled for Todd to come see I scared him)!

He also had his first taste of pizza last night. Todd went to No Name and picked up pizza, I cut the crust off of a piece and gave it to him. He ate the whole thing and loved it!

Here are the pictures

I figured it out, finally. I know this is simple for most people, but it takes me a little while. Here ae some more recent pictures of our monkeys. They have started playing together some. Wyatt even lets Warren come in his room sometimes. I know this won't last, but it is sweet while it does.

Inspired by Danielle

I have to admit that this was all inspired by Danielle. I read her blog and thought this was a great way to keep up with people that we don't get to see all the time and the ones that we do. Our boys are growing so quickly. It is just amazing to think that this time last year our family was 3 and now we are about to celebrate Warren's first birthday.

Wyatt will be 6 years old soon and I just can't believe it. He is growing so much each day. He loves school and his teachers. He is learning to read and so much more. Todd and I are just amazed at how much he has changed since starting school in August. He has such a sweet spirit and is a very loving kid. He told me earlier today that I was the best mom he ever had.

Warren is quite the handful these days. His personality is so different than Wyatt's. He is a very sweet and happy little boy, but not nearly as laid back as Wyatt was at his age. He has to be constantly occupied by something and most things don't last long. These days he is trying to develop quite the little attitude, but then don't we all have that side. Then at night when I hold him while he drinks his bottle, I can't imagine what life was like before him. Then comes 3:00 am when he still thinks that he needs a bottle or just wants to be sure tha he is not alone (we are not sure what he is thinking). I try to make myself remember that one day he will be all grown up and I should treasure these moments, but my sleep deprived body just wants to sleep.

I often look at these two amazing little boys and wonder what I did so right to deserve such a blessing. My life has truly been blessed. I was raised in a wonderfully loving family and now I have my very own wonderful family. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband for almost 7 years and two beautiful little boys. What more could I ask for. Sure there are things out there that we all wish we could have, but when it comes down to it I am BLESSED.

Now if I can figure out how to post pictures with this I will do so.
