Jacob and Jerrod

I cannot believe that he is already 5. I still vividly remember the moment that I first saw him. His gorgeous little face. I remember him holding my finger and resting his exhausted little head on my chest. We stared and stared at each other when he was awake, and when he was sleeping, I stared some more. That perfect miracle that God sent to me - my son. The past 5 years have been filled with every emotion imaginable thanks to that little boy: joy, sadness, fear, amazement, pride, guilt, anger, exhaustion, worry, happiness, contentment, peace, and love greater than I could have ever imagined. I am truly so proud that he is my son - he is such a blessing in my life.

New house

Here are some photos of our new house. These were taken before and as we were moving in. We have painted the living room and hall since these were taken, and have gotten ALL of the boxes unpacked. Now, we're taking our time decorating. We are loving the extra space, and the new layout - we really like the kitchen and living room being one big open space. We'll update with more photos once we're more settled!
