Happy Birthday Charlie Gaines!

This past year has been more wonderful than we ever imagined it to be! I was thinking tonight how last year I was laying in the hospital bed looped out on pain pills and eating Taramuhara for dinner. I actually can't say I remember eating. I was trying to focus on the "middle" TV, I was seeing 3 of them from the medicine! But what I do remember is the unconditional love that I felt for little Charlie. He was so tiny that his little skin looked like it was falling off of his knees! And the little sweet sounds that he made, and the way we would just stare at him in amazement that God picked us to be his parents. What an incredible gift. Okay, okay I guess you can see I am emotional about him turning ONE. It is so bittersweet! I am so thankful for every minute, excited that we are out of certain phases and thrilled to see what is next! Enjoy the little recap of his first year.

All Boy!

It was so beautiful outside today and Stevie was working hard in the back yard. Charlie didn't want to miss out on all the fun.

He played with Lamont and gave him kisses..

He played in the leaves

He played with Daddy

He was filthy! His knees and feet were black from the wet dirt and he just LOVED it! We went straight to the bath when we went inside!
