six months old today!







today we are celebrating six wonderful months with our beautiful baby boy! it is hard to believe that he is already six months old, but they have been the very best of my life.



the joy that this little boy brings throughout each day has our hearts overflowing. God has truly blessed us through michael john and we are so very grateful!

happy six months old!

bath time with cutie! decided to start of our six months old birthday with a relaxing bath!

i told craig today that with all of the kicking and grabbing, micheal john is about to out-grow taking a bath in his little tub on the bathroom counter... our little guy is getting bigger and bigger! looks like we will have to move his tub to our bathtub soon! that way he will have plenty of wiggle room!

honeymoon adventures in cancun, mexico

craig and i had the most wonderful honeymoon in cancun at the 'cancun royal all-inclusive spa & resort". we were very -spoiled - mostly getting to spend so much time together - but the swim up bar, 24-hour room service, amazing view, and cabana beds overlooking the turquois ocean only added to our bliss!
