Happy Early Birthday Mr. Cheeeks!

Christmas videos

I am late getting these up... nothing to do on a sick day but sit home and catch up!

Happy First Birthday Nugget!

Yes...it's a birthday banana! He only eats certain things... work with me here!

Excuse my voice too, I'm sick!

Tomorrow my heart will rejoice...and break

Well, tomorrow is the day my little man turns one. How the heck did this happen? I am NOT prepared. I am so sad that a year has flown by but so thankful for what it has held. You.

I celebrate the last 364 days, all that Tristan has brought to my and so many other's lives. He is far greater than I ever thought he could be. I don't deserve this sweet little man but am so thankful that God chose me... the horribly imperfect Julie to be his mom. Wow.

Tomorrow I will start his new blog and do my best to get this one bound. I want Tristan to have this ... the good and the bad.. to someday look back on and smile.

I love you sweet boy. I look forward to a million more laughs and snuggles and I can't wait to hear "Mommy, I love you." For today however, I will take your sweet little head nod and your open mouth kisses... and be thankful that you are EXACTLY the way you are. I wouldn't change one thing about you, not one single second (maybe take away you EVER being sick) but even that I know is preparing you for the world.

Tristan Holt Barber.... YOU are the greatest thing I have every done, your daddy and I love you more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for what YOU have given to us - God is good!!

Love, Mommy

BBC Photo shoot

On December 11, 2009.... we tried to get all of the babies together from the last 24 months. We failed miserably... many were sick. Here's what we go though. I've only included some... cute ones of course!
