children are sweet blessings

Our sweet little Ryder was born on August 24, 2011

weighing in at 7lbs. 5oz. and 20 inches long

What a blessing he is to our family! We love you Ryder Clifford Michael

Here are a few of the many sweet moments captured this month

after his first bath

"sleeping like a baby" like babies do...anytime, anywhere. except at night, of course ;)

chillaxin' with daddy :)

Clairsy feeding her "bubba" as she likes to call him

already changing so much! I took this picture today.

He has started smiling at our voices and getting excited about the toys hanging from his bouncer!

We are thrilled to have this little man! It is so exciting to watch him grow as we do ClaireBell into the person God created him to be. I pray to be the kind of Mama he needs me to be, and more importantly, the kind that honors God.

We have lots of settling still to do here in Jacksonville as we continue the search for our "permanent" place of residence. You can expect more blogging once things calm down a bit :)

Thanks for reading! Have a happy Wednesday :)
