Seriously...a YEAR?!

Seriously? My "baby" is a year old already?

It seems like just yesterday....late nights crying, worrying and wondering..."why us?" The day we found out our son had Spina Bifida my husband and I sat on the couch with our laptop, reading gruesome stories, holding each other and crying. It seemed our world had come crashing down around us and we were only 19 years old. We had seen soo many ungrateful teen moms drink, smoke and do drugs during their pregnancies and have perfect babies. "Why us?" From the moment we had gotten together we had plans of marriage and children. Our love was much stronger than those teen parents so "why us?" Because God had a plan to grow our love so far beyond anything have could have known.

Here we are, with a one year old "toddler" and what a wonderful year it has been! Jonah has done nothing but surprise and amaze us since day one! We like to call him our little torndao because he is soo busy, crawling and destroying everything! "If only I had known then what I know now" Life wouldn't have been nearly as scary for those first months. We have a perfect little toddler who crawls, stands, says "Da-Da" and just loves life. Everything he does he does with a smile. We are just soo completely in love and blessed to have him in our lives!
