Happy 1st Birthday Alexander!!

Alexander Tate Enns was born exactly one year ago today, at 5:45am! Happy Birthday Alex!

It wasn't the funnest day for Alex though. He had is 12 month doctor appointment, which included shots! No fun. The doctor also thought he heard a slight murmur while listening to his heart, so he sent us down for an EKG. Poor little guy. It was hard to see him hooked up to so many wires. The good thing is that the results were normal. But it was a long day at the doctor- what a birthday!

As you can see in pictures above, Alex got a package in the mail! His very first birthday present actually came on Saturday, and he had great fun opening it. It was from cousins: Karis and Sophia, and second cousins: Joshua, Thomas, and Joey! Then he received his second present in the mail from the Bonners on Monday!

The sign you see in the last picture is going to be used at his birthday party this Saturday. We are having a pizza party at the park! And the theme for Alex is Construction! I will post some pictures after the event.

It has been a wonderful year! I can hardly believe it has been a whole year since that trip to the hospital! Alexander is such a blessing in our lives and we thank God for him daily. Alex is learning so many new things everyday. He's getting better and better at walking with our help, he waves at just about anyone, he loves being outdoors, and he can point to several things when I ask where they are. What a sweet boy he is!

The BIG Ultra-Sound Today!

I was really hoping for a girl, so when the technician said that he thought it was a girl, I almost couldn't believe it! I asked him how sure he was, and he said that he was pretty sure:). So yeah- Alex is going to have a baby sister! I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!

Pictures from the Camping Trip

Alexander's 1st Camping Trip

A few weeks ago we embarked on a camping trip with Zander baby! We left right after church on Sunday, August 3rd and returned home on Tuesday, August 5th. It was short but sweet. Monday was actually Nate's birthday, so this was sort-of his birthday trip! You'll see in one of the pictures that I put a candle in a marshmellow:). All-in-all is was a very fun trip to Pinecrest, with sunbathing and swimming in the lake, a scenic drive, camp fires, and just enjoying the outdoors. However, we don't know that we'll try it again with a baby because night-time was hard... Alex went down just fine, but woke up several times crying. We felt bad for all our neighboring campers.
