Pictures from the Past

Today is a meaningful day to our family so I've been looking through a lot of old pictures remembering fun times and sad times. So I thought I would share some pictures from 2004...it was very much a year of change for me and Brandon. We lived the newlywed lifestyle for six short months before we found out we were pregnant with "crawdad" as we called Parkes at the time. He was such a wonderful surprise that we had no idea we were ready for, but I guess we were. We had some wonderful times with friends and family...there were so many joyous occasions that year. I just wish I had known then to cherish each of those moments and not worry about the meaningless things that tend to get in the way. It is so easy to get caught up in our lives and the "to do" list that need to get done that it is nice to reminisce and remember how blessed we are to have the life that we have and our friends and family to support us through it. Thank you so much to everyone in our lives that have loved and prayed for us without y'all we would not be who we are.
