Fathers Day


Part one was last year. (See post here) Zach's post on his first Father's Day was not only very emotional but remained to be scary as Blake was still in the hospital with surgeries planned. This year is quite different...we are home...Blake is 14 months old, and minus some teething and belly issues this week he has been in perfect health. We are thankful everyday for the miracle God blessed us with...but what I don't mention as much is how truly thankful and blessed I feel to have Zach in my life. The night my water broke my husband rushed to my side, took me to the hospital and never left my side. Zach reminded me constantly that no matter what happened it started out me and him and it would stay that way forever. Forever by each others sides through thick and thin...me and him. When Conor passed I saw a man heartbroken, then quickly took my hand, reminding me it was us two- forever...he stayed strong for me. When Blake went through surgery after surgery I watched my husband stand strong and grab my hand, he would look me in the eyes and tell me that it would be okay. Blake is very lucky to have a father in his life like Zach. Zach and I never left Blake's side at the hospital 141 days...and yet Zach found a way to continue to support our family even when we were hours away from work. He is our provider, our rock, our love! And today we honor him...for Father's Day...part two! May this year be easier than the last!

Hats

We've all heard the saying 'a man of many hats.' Right? Blakers decided to change the saying to a more literal meaning from the very beginning!




























































































And of course the hat we have worn the most and have had for the longest!!!!





Memorial Day Weekend


This past weekend Zach and I ventured into unknown territory with Blake. We decided to introduce Blake to something we are quite fond of, something that brings us much needed relaxation and fun! We crossed our fingers that Blake to would enjoy this activity as much as we do, because if he didn't we were worried how we would spend our summer....but you never know until you test the waters...in this case quite literally! So to the water we went! We live on a river town so being out on the water is only second nature to our families. This year though my in-laws decided to bring the family closer together by investing in a lake house down at Kuttawa Kentucky. We were ecstatic! So for Memorial Day we packed up, and headed to The lake with Blake in tow! As anxious as I was that Blake would not like being on the boat or the loud noises, I should have known better! MY BABY LOVES EVERYTHING ABOUT WATER! Including being out on it! What a relief! And what a much needed relaxing weekend we had!
























This face says it all! Boy LOVED it!












Captain Blake!!
































We also found out Blake loves pickles!












Such a GREAT weekend!

My big boy!


We finally got over the 16 pound mark!!!! We are now a whopping 17 pounds 7 ounces! It's overwhelming everyday to witness the miracle God has placed before Zach and myself. What an honor to be the mother to such a special child!
