I wrote a post about taking collagen every day and loved hearing your responses, thoughts, and ideas in the comments.
We rented a movie theater for Kathrynne’s 16th birthday. It was the perfect quarantine birthday party idea and it was a good deal — just $99 for up to 20 people!
We got to babysit him two days last week and he’s getting so big! He loves this ABC verse book and wants me to read it multiple times every time he comes to visit.
Happy first birthday, sweet baby boy! We love you more than words can express.
Getting to mother you this past year while your mama got healthy and strong was one of the greatest honors of my life. I hope some day when you’re older, I’ll get the chance to tell you just how hard she worked and how much she overcame because of how much she loves you.
You are brave and strong, just like your mama. You have overcome so many odds and continue to surprise us all with how fast you learn, how determined you are, and how you don’t give up even when things are tough.
Saying goodbye and giving you back to your mama was one of the happiest and hardest, brutal and beautiful things I’ve done so far in life. And it helped me understand a little bit more the depths of love God has for me… He sent His One and Only Son into the world — for me, for you.
We are so crazy proud of you and miss you so much when you aren’t here. But we are so thrilled you are thriving and being loved so well with your mama and we are humbly grateful that she loves you so much that she wants us to continue to be actively involved in your life.
Wherever you go, a part of our hearts will always go with you. You are such a gift, little boy, and we can’t wait to see what this next year holds for you!
This girl is growing so much. She has two teeth now, is learning how to open cupboards and drawers, and is babbling and climbing so much!
