The Party

Where to start?? Well – Will had quite a lovely party on Saturday. The theme – Lil Slugger’s First Birthday! It turned out great! Fun to do a baseball theme since the Rangers are doing so well right now. And red and blue is just cute for a little boy. And – we love sports in this house!

I love this memory of my family taking the boys around the block. :) So much fun!2010-09-19 001 2010-09-18 158 Sweet, sweet Lindsey painted this awesome chair for Will! It is so adorably cute. It has the verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13” on it. She has memories of having her own chair as a child and reading all her books in it. I love that Will has one, too. And the talent that went into painting this is amazing. Thanks Lindsey!2010-09-19 001 2010-09-18 170 2010-09-19 001 2010-09-19 006

It is days like Saturday that just make me feel so incredibly blessed. Not only do I have a wonderful child, I have so many family and friends that would take the time to come celebrate his birth. It was such a fun, special time of doing just that. Thanks to everyone who came. It means more to us than you will ever know!
