Lily was 2 months, and Ryan turns 8…back in November

So, we’re behind again on the blogging, but we’re trying to redeem ourselves…here’s a little recap of November:

Our sweet girl was 2 months and thanks to to my friend Katie, she has these sweet little onsie appliques to put her in!  She is growing so fast!

Our first baby is growing up!

We will always thank God for choosing us to be this amazing little boy’s parents!

 

Falcons Game!

In lieu of a party, we wanted to surprise our NFL obsessed 8 year old with his first Falcons game!  Not to mention Andrew and mine also!

He thought we were going to the ESPN zone to watch the game & eat until Daddy surprised him with a detour!

Andrew was so excited too!

We had such a great time and even though I thought Ryan may be disappointed not to have a big friend party, he exclaimed “I wanna do this every year for my birthday!”

Mission Accomplished!

In November I was also able to get my favorite picture of Matt and Lilly

Gorgeous!

I get butterflies every time I look at him!  Thank you God for my heart!

Even better, the boys look just like him!

I know these children ultimately belong to God and their lives a plan for His work to be done, but sometimes I sit and look at them and wonder why we were so blessed to have them.   I hope we make Him proud of how they are taught of His love and sacrifice so that they follow His will for their lives daily!  He placed this amazing love for each other inside Matt and me many years ago (I truly think that is was even before we met), and to thank Him for that, we will raise His children according to His will!

So here’s to another year with our sweet Ryan, we love and are so proud of you!
