Sanctity of Life

It's hard to believe that Tennyson wasn't even here 6 months ago. I think about how much our lives have changed since his birth. From the moment he arrived there was only love. Constant, unconditional, immeasurable love. I don't pretend there haven't been times that I desperately wanted sleep more than to gaze in the face of my precious infant. But there is always overwhelming love for our son. Yes, even when we would look at him and say, "I have no idea why you're crying." And then do what all mature parents do.....beg and plead with him to stop.

Tennyson continues to amaze us everyday. He started rolling over at 9 weeks and hasn't slowed down since. His pediatrician comments every time we go what an unusually active baby he is. Oh goody. Wait til he starts crawling. Speaking of which, I think he's getting close. Within the past the week he's been trying to get his knees up under him when he's on his belly. Honestly though, what's more adorable than a baby crawling all over the place?

Well, I wanted to share some of our favorite photos of Tennyson from birth til now. It's incredible how quickly time passes, but these fleeting moments will stay with us forever.

And in honor of National Sanctity of Human Life Day I want to express how important it is that we protect these innocent and precious lives. The unborn have no voice, but we can be their voice. I truly believe God holds all 44+ million aborted babies is His hands. May He bring peace to the mothers and fathers seeking forgiveness.

What a miracle new life is.....

This was right after he finished eating...and then he curled his lip like Elvis. I don't know what that means.
