Comfort and Joy

I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will
give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.

Month Pics

I have been taking month pics with Miller but have been terrible about posting them.  Here is Miller from Months 1, 2, & 3.  He is a big boy (over 15 lbs) and doing so well.  He is the happiest, sweetest little thing. He is SO laid back and just smiles at everyone.  He has an umbilical hernia so that is why his belly button sticks out.  It has already gone in a lot more and should be completely normal by the time he is 1.

Pumpkin Patch

A group of friends and I took our children to the Pumpkin Patch at Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando, MS.  We had a great time riding the hayride, picking out a pumpkin, getting lost in the Corn Maze, playing on the Pirate Ship, riding the train, petting the animals in the petting zoo, and having a picnic lunch.  I stayed a little too long (into nap time) so the ride home wasn't as enjoyable but I am glad I went.  It is all about the memories you make with your children.

My boys

Just some sweet (and funnny) pictures of my boys.  It's pretty funny to me how many pictures I have to take to try and get one good one.  Some of these crack me up.

The next few are the progression of me asking Austin to hug Miller.

I love this one. Austin is really starting to interact with Miller now. Miller gives the biggest smiles and laughs the hardest at Austin. It is so sweet to watch. That is the fuel that keeps me going on those tough days.
