Colorado Bound!

That's right, folks! The Winter family is relocating back to Colorado! :)

We should be arriving the beginning of November! We are so excited to come back to the most beautiful state. South Carolina was a great experience; wouldn't trade it for the world. But, it's time to come home!

See you soon, Colorado Folks!

Love,

The Winters

3am...

Last night, Evan decided that 3am was a perfect time to wake up. I tried nursing, rocking, bouncing and laying down… but he was ready to be up! I was not very thrilled with being up at an ungodly hour, but after seeing his smiling face, you can help but feel so much joy!

So I thought you would enjoy some videos of our late night playtime! 

Enjoying his late night playtime!

Well, after playing for an hour, nursing, rocking for 30 min he was still wide awake. Thankfully Daddy saw Mommy struggling and stepped in. Thank you Daddy for only spending 5 WHOLE MINUTES to get him to sleep. Guess someone just needed Daddy's touch! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Celebration!

On Evan's Birthday, we went to Willard Farms (a local farm here in Sumter) to enjoy some lunch, strawberry picking and playing on the argiplex! Here are some photos of the day...

One WHOLE Year Old!!

I thought (and prayed) I would never say this… but our baby is ONE YEAR OLD!!

Evan you have brought so much joy to Mommy and Daddy. We could never imagine what our lives would be like without you. We love you more and more each day.  

It is unbelievable that we are already celebrating your First Birthday. You have cried, smiled, laughed, rolled over, sat up, crawled, said your first words and walked. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. 

Let's take a look at this past year month-by-month…

Just moments after you were born!
