My little Parker Bear is going to turn one year old in a week from today.

SEVEN DAYS.

I’m
headlong into my mourning. And finishing up party planning. I cannot
even believe it. Wasn’t I just laying on the couch counting contractions
and trying to decide when to call the doctor?

It went by way too fast.

Nathan
had his very first T-ball practices last week! He loved them and so did
Coach Jon. 😉 They were so cute. The first practice was freezing cold but the second one wasn’t as bad. It was so cute to watch.

My fellow sideliner. 😉

All
these sports and activities are wearing my poor boy out – I walked into
his room to tell him his rest time was over this week and found this
sight. So funny. I can’t even remember the last time he fell asleep in
rest time!

It
finally warmed up on Friday. Nathan and I have been working in the yard
during Parker’s morning nap, so on Friday we ran to the store and
bought a little baby swing for the swing set and then brought Parker out
with us. It was really his first time to be out playing in the backyard
and he LOVED it. Like seriously loved it. It was so cute. I don’t think
he stopped giggling until he started throwing a fit when I said it was
time to come inside. 😉

 They even managed to convince me to let them eat lunch out there. 😉

There
is stuff to clean, dishes to put away, gifts to buy and wrap, LOTS of
words to write… So much to do and such a short time to do it!! I often
pray for more hours in my day!
