"it's even easier"

Exactly a year ago Traci and I began waiting for the arrival of the new family member. It was exciting yet nerve racking the thought that I was to become a father to someone. I can recall the following months feeling like time had slowed down. The days were filled with the thought that my life would soon change for the better yet somehow it still remained an enigma. How can it be that parents love their kids yet complain about the lack of sleep, time, patience or finances? To be honest I don't have the answers because I am not them.... Where am I going with this post?

This past year has been by far the best year of my life. I have been blessed with a healthy son and a great wife that bakes me cupcakes. I get to raise my son in the same house where his great great grandparents lived. God has given me a pretty good hand. It's easy to focus on the bad things of life, but with Ben and Traci it's even easier to focus on the good things of life.

  1. Josh- I LOVE the pictures, as usual. I also love the thoughts you've shared. I agree that in giving us Children, God is also giving us a new opportunity to see our blessings and the positive things about our lives. The choice is ours. Thanks for the reminder!

  3. Great pictures. Ben is such a handsome little boy. Sorry we didn't get a chance to stop by while we were in CP earlier this week. I want to start making your house a quick stop each time just to see how much this little guy has grown. Nice to see you and Traci, as well!! Keep the pictures coming!!
