So, we decided to celebrate this monumental day with a "Happy One-Month-Old Birthday" party. Nathan picked out a carrot cake (?) at the store for him (I think he liked the carrots made of frosting on top...which was pretty much the only part of the cake he ended up eating.) We even had a candle they all took turns blowing out.
The other day I read this quote...
"I truly believe that as low as you go, you bounce back up that much higher."
...and I really think it's true. The physical and emotional lows I experience while carrying these sweeties are amazingly low. It's kind of scary. But the high I feel when I hold them in my arms for the first time, and thousands of times after, is the most amazing and wonderful feeling. I am so happy and so grateful to be enjoying this special, unexpected season of my life. I'm soaking it in and loving every minute.

He should be celebrated! He is absolutely adorable. Mmmmm. . . .
Who says boys don't have cute baby clothes!!! I've always wanted to dress a baby boy. He's adorable. That's the law of opposition at work...it's a miracle.
Too cute for words, Annettie! I can't even begin to express how grateful we are for the sacrifices you make to bring these sweet grandbabies into our family. No one will ever know the depth of your suffering, unless they have been with you, and seen it firsthand. You are truly an angel mother. love you
That is the best quote I've ever heard. Thank you!
He is too cute in his sunday best. I say he cleans up pretty well!
I love your little family...all FOUR kids! Who would have guessed we could do it again??
