Luke turned ONE! We had a big birthday party for him and we had a great time. A word of caution though: Anyone who is trying to plan a one year old's birthday party nine months pregnant, it is exhausting! Our sweet boy is officially a toddler. He is going non-stop and keeps us on our toes and laughing constantly. The most recent thing he has discovered is his nose, and nostrils specifically. He is ALL BOY.
The first dress she tried on, we knew it was THE ONE. It is stunning on her and we were all so honored to be there with her on such a special day. Mariah was even able to skype from Zambia! :)
We welcomed our precious second son, Benjamin Walker to the world on July 8. I am planning on posting his whole birth story later on, but it was a completely different experience compared to Luke's birth.

David was able to take two weeks off from work for paternity leave and it was the best experience ever. For the first week, Luke spent most of his time with both sets of grandparents (such a blessing!) so David and I could get used to our newest little bundle. Since then, it has become a balancing act with having both boys around and we have mastered the divide and conquer method when David is home. I have been surviving when I'm at home alone with the two... no one goes hungry (for long), everyone is (somewhat) clean, and I am slightly sane when Daddy FINALLY comes home at night! Our house is a wreck and there are dishes stacked in the sink and piles of laundry everywhere but I get to snuggle with two sweet boys everyday and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
