Turning 1 year old!

It is hard to believe that our little Lochlan has just turned 1 year old. September 13th was his birthday and in looks he has gone from a baby to a toddler overnight it seems but he is definitely now a little man :)

The birthday boy!


We had a fun family party for him on the Saturday before his actual birthday. I did a Noah's ark theme as he LOVES animals. We kept it simple in our clubhouse with an afternoon of a couple of games, fruit & cake, fun socializing while he ate his first piece of cake and opened all his gifts.

Lochlan did really well until we brought the cake to him and he decided to reach for the candle instead of blow it out. How would he have known what to do and unfortunately he got a burn on his little fingers but overall he did really well and enjoyed the party with all his family and cousins. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy :)

The Ark cake my sister made - it was fantastic!

Not too sure what to do with this

He ate a bit but then wasn't interested anymore


He much prefered watermelon :)


That evening after we put Lochlan down for the night, Lance and I remembered the miracle of Lochlan coming into this world a year ago and how much of a gift he is to us both from the Lord. We were unsure if we were even able to have children. After multiple tests done we found out we were expecting at the first appointment at the specialist office to find out our 'options'. God is SO FAITHFUL and we were reminded once again that He truly does come through on His promises.

WE LOVE YOU LOCHLAN more than words can say and are so thankful for your sweet, precious, joyful life that you bring to us daily with you being YOU! :)
