And then there were three...

The past year has been a complete flash!  I am going to try to do better documenting what is going on in our Small, (but growing), family. A quick rundown of the past year.  Last April we found out we were pregnant.  We found out on the birthday of my favorite student,  Kingston.  We knew if it was a boy it would be Kingston.  I was certain that it was going to be a girl, but interestingly enough we didn't have a girl name picked out as quickly.  In July we went on a babymoon to NYC.  It was Steven's first time to my favorite city.  In August we found out we would be having a boy.  Steven and I spent months getting ready for his arrival.  Steven painted, added crown molding and baseboards, updated light fixtures, and many other things.  I got to plan the decoration of the room and my mom did all of the bedding.  Kingston arrived on Christmas Eve, a week early, at 9:26 pm.  He was 8 lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long.  He has rocked our world.  He is the best little boy with such a sweet personality.  Here are a few pictures to capture the past year.

Bedding done by Patches-my mom

We have a picture on the wall of the giraffe my cousin, John, raised.  Kingston loves giraffes already.

This is the chair that Steven's grandmother had in her nursery.

Steven built these and literally finished them before we went to the hospital.  I was having contractions and as soon as he finished we left.

This was my grandmother's great grandmother's chest.  It is over 150 years old and my Grandad rebuilt it.  We added the paint and drawer knobs.

My friend, Lauren Meier, did our maternity pictures.

 

Proud dad!

His first Christmas he was just one day old.  It was a snowy day and we spent it just hanging out with our little man.

Uncle Miah loves Kingston!!  He is such a wonderful and proud uncle.  He comes and visits multiple times a week.

We are in love with our precious boy.  He is loving and sweet.  He is rarely fussy and brings so much joy to our Small family.  We couldn't have gotten any luckier.
