So big now

This weekend was one of those fun family ones where we got to celebrate as a family Gabbys 1st birthday, it is amazing to see how big all the kids have got. Just watching all the boys (and Erin) running around playing soccer outside just made me realise again how good God has been to us as a family and bless us with lots of little and not so little ones.

One of the great joys was seeing little Kate again, she was the youngest and latest addition to the family but now seeing her with Gabby kind of makes her a big girl now : ) 

Our beautiful boy

Today I managed to get a glimpse of pure bliss, our little Caleb is growing up so fast and he is so amazing. I cannot believe how this little guy has just been so much fun. We really haven't had any issues and he is sleeping really well, today was a nice chilled time before the family came around and managed to get this pic of him just chilling on Debbie.

It's been an amazing 9 months!

Wow I really can't believe that it's been 9 months since this precious little girl entered our lives, today Gabriella turned 1 and what a fantastic time we have had. We are truly blessed to have this little person in our lives. 

We had the family over today for tea and decided to just let Gabby loose on a piece of cake, oh and what fun it was! Here are some pics of the event that we will remember for a long time ; ) 

Father's day # 1

Shew so who would have thought that last year as I sat around our dinning room table a year ago celebrating fathers day with Pop's (my father in law) that a year later I would be celebrating as a father of two?

I am really grateful and privileged beyond measure to have these two little blessings in my life. I have received gifts today to celebrate this special day but the greatest gift I have is my children and knowing that I am there father and there hero ; )

The joy of children

I have to say that I cannot begin to express how wonderful it has been this last week know that we are the parents of two beautiful children.

Some people have asked me if this is it for us and the answer is a resounding no. Why stop at 2? One thing we have learnt over the last couple of years is that God is good and will always provide... So why not have the same attitude when it comes to having children. God will always provide and give Grace in every situation and we are confident of this fact and are most certainly going to put this to the test... Not God but us!

Gabby and Caleb will most certainly will have more than just themselves in the future, what this looks like and what time frames we are talking about I could only begin to imagine but one thing I am certain of and this is that children are a real joy and I can't wait for the next one, two, three or even four ; )
