it's almost here...the 1st birthday!

Amazing, but true, Phillie's 1st birthday is just a few weeks away! I can't believe my baby boy is almost one year old! They say time flies, but MYLANTA!(my favorite exclamation as of late), where does the time go? We're going with a Superman theme. I guess I'll work out the details here in the next week or two. It's all just for the adults anyway! Phillie would much prefer playing with a box or the dog's toys. I wonder if he will even like Superman down the road. Probably, if his Daddy has anything to do with it. When Phil Sr. was a kid, you could see him on any given grocery trip wearing a costume of some sort. So, if you live in Central Ohio and you see a kid wearing a cape with a giant "P" on the back, it just might be me and my little man :)

Here are some recent snapshots of Phillip Jr.

in with the new

MUCH has happened since I last updated this blog!! I have a SON! Phillip Jr. was born November 12, 2008! Yippee!! ...and I'm a few years older and wiser. In the days ahead I plan to upload some pictures and blow the dust off this old blog so we can get back up to speed.

Here's Phillie brand new in the hospital, all 7 pounds and 1 ounce of him completely adorable!










Here he is at 6 weeks!













Daddy and Phillie at Children's for his 2nd steroid injection. This was just before he hit 6 mos. This procedure was done on his right eyelid where he had a Hemangioma. This is a blood vessel cluster that was actually in his eyelid. Praise God, the injections were a success and the Hemangioma is now barely noticeable. We're praying and believing his vision will not be affected.





Here's a recent shot of Phillie, now almost 10 months! Time has flown by so quickly. Just looking through these pictures reminds me how precious each day is and how grateful I am to God for making me a Mom!
