Welcome, 2013!

Time for some changes. Well, actually, changes have been happening before our eyes - Deagan has been growing and learning since the last post. (Sorry, full-time working mom taking another Masters course excuse...) He is learning words, how to feed Berkley when he shouldn't be, showing love with kisses and hugs, etc. We just love him.

I was going to post some pictures, but something is not working at the moment, so I will soon.

Please know that we are alive and well. :)

My Lil Stinker - Halloween 2012

Boy, was it a cold one! BUT, Deagan was all bundled up for the festivities! First, we went Downtown Zeeland with Grandma and Auntie for some fun and then we made our rounds to family!

I am not letting go of my bucket!

All my myself!

My friend, Lucas!

Hi! Hi! - my new word!

12 months - October 2, 2012

We made it to ONE year of photos and memories and sleepless nights, but most of all, blessings! God is good. Look at this chunker!

Someone wouldn't LAY down anymore for photos!

Look at meeee!

Fun times with the diaper box!

Look at Berk having SO much fun!

YAY!

He's ONE year!

This past Saturday, we had a party for Deagan. The theme was a camping theme because his birthday is in the fall and he loves nature/trees/etc. It was fun getting everything together and having everyone over to celebrate.

Here are a few pics to enjoy. :)

Also, Daddy took the day off from work tomorrow so that him and D could have a day together. :) Precious.

An after-cake bath... being goofy.

Delicious cupcakes made by Grandma Norma with love. :)

A visit to Crane's... Where it all began. :)

A couple weeks ago, on a Sunday after church, Lee and I decided that we should take Deagan to Crane's to 1.) see where it all began (where mommy's water broke almost a year earlier) AND 2.) enjoy all the nature, trees, leaves, apples (or lack of this year), and pumpkins. Deagan LOVES trees and leaves and nature, so Crane's is the place for him.

We packed up and headed there - we got lunch and walked in the orchard. Deagan definitely was a fan. Deagan = future apple grower or picker?!? (Lee thinks not, but who knows?!?)

Closing out the summer...

Summer came to a close this past week. Sad. We spent the last weekend at the cottage - it sure was fun. Deagan is a huge fan of climbing the steps (since we don't really climb them much at home) and while playing in the water, he ALWAYS lifts his heads to the noises of boats. It was a great time as we ended our summer adventures.

Deagan at 10 WHOLE months!

On August 2, 2012, Deagan was 10 months old. We were up at Diamond Lake, so he got to pose on the beach instead of in his room like usual. :)

Showing off my "walking" pose AND my chubby thighs. :)

I don't sit still very long...

Waving. One of the new things that Deagan does... He waves at everyone and everything. :) SO cute.
