Happy may day..







10 days from now is 1 year anniversary of the date i was due to have Ethan.. was he born on that day? no.. but ill always remember may 10th.. when your pregnant people ask you your due date a couple thousand times.. so that date will forever be engraved into my mind as significant. it was also mother's day last year..

We are getting ready for Ethan's first birthday. Im still a little blown away at how quickly 1 year went by. And by how much he's changed.. from a little snuggly swaddled bunting, to a toothless-crawling-mini-monster, to a walking-babbling-2-toothed-mini-man with a ton of personality. The way he dances and laughs and falls down in his excitement when i get home from work, or the way he gives me slobbery kisses, or how sweet he looks when he sleeps on his tummy with his butt in the air..man, i love that kid. God has totally blessed us with a happy healthy handsome little boy.

On another note. Work has been changing a lot in the Holmes family. Seth accepted a new job as the accounting supervisor at a local family owned company. He is really excited to start on this new adventure and excited for new oppurtunities and to learn new skills to add to his resume. My employer was finally able to hire me on as a relief worker, so im not considered a temp anymore and im hoping to get going on that soon. Its been a real answer to prayer for us. We are hoping to purchase a home in the next year, but in order to get approved for a loan, my income wasnt even considered, being at a temp status. So hopefully we can get the ball rolling on that soon. :)

thats all for now. if your reading this, hope to see you at Ethan's birthday celebration! if you havent received an evite, and would like to stop by, will you please leave a comment with your correct email address?? :) thank you!


Here are a few misc pics of the family. The first is Ethan when i didnt feed him his oatmeal fast enough...i figured considering how angry he already was, i might as well snap a photo..the next one is his polar opposite, my happy son Ethan. with a diaper on his head. the 2 with the green shirt were taken at worship practice. he was having fun "dancing" to the music. and the last one is Seth and Ethan walking around the mall. that kid is ALWAYS on the move now. :)
