Then and Now: a Brief Birthday Retrospective

December 20, 2013 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Francis, Gratitude, Minnesota Me, New Baby, Special Events 8 Comments

Then:

Birth Story VI

And now:

Noah and Nicholas I

Francis is one year old today! (He was born on 12/20/2012 which is kind of cool if you think about it.) We celebrated by attending Joe’s Junior Play–a one-act drama called “Noah and the Flood.”

(Joe played Noah. Can you tell?)

Noah and Nicholas II

“What the heck?” Francis appears to be thinking. “What’s this…stuff on my brother’s face?”

(Perhaps Francis thought that we’d brought him to see Santa.)

Anyway, not surprisingly, the year has flown by. We were surprised by this handsome little Number Seven–surprised, at first, and then incredibly blessed.

PS. I told you it was brief.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
