~48 weeks and counting~

Who would've thought we would make it this far when our journey began on March 14, 2010??? In 4 weeks from tomorrow, Reed will be 1 year old!!! WOW!!! Thank You, God, for sparing our baby! We have only battled 2 sets of ear infections in 11 months, which is AMAZING!! The dreaded one year at home sentence has been a tremendous blessing to us. Keeping Reed at home and having Grandma keep him instead of a daycare has truly kept him well enough he could THRIVE at such an amazing rate. Tomorrow we will celebrate Reed's 11-month birthday along with Valentine's Day. I can definitely say in the past year I have experienced every type of love that exists....even a love that never stopped in the darkest days.

Our little man is crawling like lightning, and getting into everything. I have made 2 trips to Wal Mart this weekend and forgot to buy cabinet locks both times. I'm still in shock that he's big enough to get into the cabinets, I guess. HA!

In 5 short weeks, we will celebrate Reed's birthday with a BLOWOUT. We want all of you faithful prayer warriors to join us for his 1st Birthday/Meet the World Party. Please mark your calendar for March 19, 2011. We will party at the Activities Center of First Methodist Church. The party will be from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Feel free to drop by or stay the entire time. Good times and great memories will abound! Thank you for staying with us on this journey as we have all experienced a modern day miracle! We love each and every one of you, and look forward to spending time with each of you at the party!

Love to all,
