Happy Birthday Charlie!

A little late posting on Charlie's first birthday. I don't even have any photos since the memory card in my lovely phone deleted everything! I know James has a few somewhere so not to worry.

What an incredible blessing this year has been! Every child is a blessing but Charlie is a particularly sweet miracle to us. He came after losing our angel baby and then a nine month roller coaster ride of not knowing if we would lose him too. I learned what it means to REALLY trust in Him and rely on His grace to sustain me.

My parents learned what it means to take care of a 5yo, 3yo, and 2yo while the mommy is on strict bedrest! :)

I am SO thankful for this past year with Charlie! I am learning to not take for granted those sweet little things he does. The precious "songs" he sings at 5:30am, the mess he makes with the cat's food and water, the "love" bites he gives so often, the "help" he's trying to give me while I blog. Just smile and praise the Lord that he is with us to do those things!

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever. PSALM 30:12
