January


1. new



A New Year's surprise! James M. was born on December 31, 2014 at 7:36 a.m. He weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20 inches long. He wasn't expected for another eight days but decided to make his entrance into the world just in time to make the tax deduction. 

There's nothing more sweet and precious than a new heaven-sent baby. James is the 4th child born to Audrey and Mike. It's amazing how much your heart expands when a new baby comes into the family. One more to love. And... oh! I do love him. 

Thank you Shaniel for looking after this precious spirit in heaven! I have no doubt you were there every step in his journey to earth.

2. change



A big change is coming to this little family. There are big plans in the making for this little guy. Ben said he is going to play with his new brother all day long! Alia is going to be such a big help to her mother, and Emmy is already showing some possession of him. I love watching the kids love all over this newcomer. 

5. clean



First sponge bath for James went very well. His bath seat was set in the sun on the kitchen cupboard. He seemed to like the warm water over his head and body. I love the soft, clean feel and smell of newborn babies. Yummm....

7. dark



It brings me a sense of security when the lights, lining the driveway, come on when it gets dark.
