Rylan James
blessed
November 7th, 2010
We blessed our cute little Rylan on Sunday, November 7th. Thanks to everyone who came to support us! It was fun to see every one. It's sad to think that he is most likely our last little one to join our family (knock on wood) but it is also fun to think of the new chapter we are entering in our life. We are so happy to have another boy to join our family. We are even all the way around now- we are an even number so everyone has a buddy, there are 4 boys and 4 girls, & we started with a boy and now we are ending with a boy. We feel very blessed!
He smiled for the first time today at me. I didn't know if it was on purpose at first, but then a few hours later he smiled at my sister Terri who was holding him. He smiled a few times through out the rest of the week and now he smiles all the time. :o)
We love you Rylan and are so happy that you have joined our family!
A huge THANK YOU to Kasa for the awesome idea and for taking the great pictures! It was a fun adventure and our family will treasure these photo's forever! What a memorable experience and teaching moment for the kids to look back on. The Nativity meant even more to me this year and emotions were closer to the surface thinking of sweet Mary cradling her new little baby boy and the journey they had taken and the journey of His life ahead. I'm so thankful for Mary and Joseph and the sacrifices they endured and for Christ and his example and sacrifice he gave for all of us. I hope you all had a wonderful and Merry Christmas this year!
