Last year at this time, I remember feeling so thankful that God had blessed Scott and me with a baby boy who was due in January. Whit was an unexpected blessing for us, but as soon as we found out I was pregnant, we knew how fortunate we were to be able to conceive easily. All throughout my pregnancy, I felt thankful that everything went smoothly and that there were no complications, except for my horrible morning sickness that seemed to last forever! (I'm kidding...that is small potatoes, I know) However, until the doctor placed my precious, perfect baby boy in my arms after two LONG hours of pushing, I never truly understood the meaning of the word thankful. Now that Whit has been with us for ten and a half months, I finally know what it is like to thank God every single day for bringing this miracle into our lives. Whit has brought me more joy than I ever thought was possible, and during this Thanksgiving holiday season, every time I look into my son's eyes, see his beautiful smile, hear his infectious laughter, hold him in my arms, and nurse him to sleep, I will remember to feel thankful for these moments and cherish them forever. You will never know how much I love you, Whit. Thank you for making my life the best it has ever been. You are the light of my life!!

So true my friend, so true!!! You made me tear up a bit! You sounded like me! :)
My camera is the Digital Canon EOS Rebel. It was an expensive investment but something that was important to me. I love taking pictures and I love my kiddos so it was a good match! :)
