Oh how time flies...




Happy 1st Bithday Duncan!!! My baby is growing up. This past year has gone by so quickly. I just want to hit pause so I can enjoy him a little longer at this wonderful stage of his life. I know everyone says it only gets better.... only he won't be my little baby any more. My little Duncan. He is such a character. He loves to laugh and make us laugh. He has just started walking this week. Still pretty unsteady but he seems determined. He loves our dog, Winnie. His first word was "gog" . She will be stretched out on the floor and he will go lay his head on her, spread his arms out, and pat her with his hand. Luckily, Winnie, although still a little unsure, will just lay still. He is a very loving little boy. He loves giving hugs. He does it all the time and with whoever is around. We had one of his little friends over the other day to play. Her name is Savanna, and she is about a month older than the Boy. He was just staring at her, touching her hair, and hugging her head. Poor Savanna! Her mom, Christy, and I were dying laughing. He loves playing with his soccer ball. And he is always finding an opportunity to play peekaboo. Everyday is a joy and I feel a privilege to have this little guy as my son. I know you hear this, but until I actually had Duncan, I never thought I could love anything as much. When I think about this it makes me cry everytime. If I had to pick one character trait for Duncan to be strongest in, it would have to be wisdom. I pray everyday that the Lord would make him a wise man in every area of his life. I can't believe that I am a mom, and he is my son. It is better than I could have ever imagined. I am truly blessed.

Dear Rebekah, We are all so blessed by your sweet Duncan. We love being his grandparents and never could have imagined how amazing it is to be grandparents. You and Brian are so great with him, and I know God will give you grace for all his growing up days. I love seeing you as a mother. You love to laugh and are so tenderhearted, and I see those same characteristis in your little boy. I love you and can't wait till you get some pictures up. Grandmother and Daddy Don are going to love getting a glimpse into your world. Hugs--Mom

Hey friend! I spoke to your mom at church and she told me about your blog. I can't believe that Duncan is a year old! I remember last summer,as your parents were doing pre-marital counseling with us... They kept their cell phones at their sides just waiting for your call! I've enjoyed getting to know your mom. She seems to love being a grandmom, she can't get enough of that little one. Can't wait to see some pictures! I'm just getting started on a blog myself. I'd love to chat whenever!
