It's Amazing How Fast Time Flys (when you have a newborn!)

First of all we want to apologize for our mysterious absence from the blog world. We have been extremely busy enjoying our little baby boy, Nathan. We have tried to keep everyone updated as much as possible via Instagram and Twitter.

It has been so much fun watching Nathan's personality come out!  

HI, EVERYONE!

In just a few days Nathan will be three months old, ALREADY! 

WOW!!

It is amazing how this little guy has fit right in to our family. It is almost as if he has always been with us! I have heard people say "it was such a big adjustment" "we were no longer able to do this" but I think Samantha and I were ready for Nathan for quite some time. As we would talk of him, and plan for him it was just as if he was right here with us all along.

As new a mommy and daddy, we both are learning so much more of God's love for us as his children. As our love grows for Nathan, so grows our understanding of God's love us.

God has been so good to us!

Below are some pictures from one day old to three months.

Even at a day old he was very alert!

A very tired, but EXCITED DADDY!! Nathan was born at 11:30PM

Say CHEESE!

My beautiful family!

Here I am at almost 3 months old!

So hopefully this post will get you caught up to speed with our little family. I am also hoping it will help us get back to faithfully updating this blog! We have a lot to share about what we have experienced with our baby in just a short time. From the water-breaking to the delivery to finally being able coming home. We have experienced some bad news from doctors and some good news from doctors. We hope to share it all with you.

We hope that we can be a blessing to you as we share Our Continuing Journey.

Thank you all for your prayers and support!

God Bless
Adam, Samantha and baby Nathan

Nursery Update - Number 2

We have recently received our baby crib, thanks to my mom. It was the first gift from our registry and as you can imagine we were pretty excited to put it together....that is until we saw all the pieces! :-)

All kidding aside it really was neat to be able to put it together. I tore into the box and Samantha being my helper, started to gather up all the packing material and cardboard.

It really wasn't too hard to put together. Just a little time consuming.

HERE WE GO!

This is my "Gonna give it my best shot" pose!

Yup! I read the instructions...

Mission Complete!!

Let's Accessorize!

If I have learned anything from HGTV, it's that it IS possible to achieve a really nice, elegant look, without having to spend a whole lot of money. Couple that with Samantha's (with the help of Mom Leeder) God given ability to find amazing deals and you have a very happy husband and a very blessed home.

While at a baby thrift store Samantha was able to snatch up a great deal on baby bedding.

She was able to get a curtan, bumper, bedding and bed skirt, extra sheet, and lamp.,all for under $40...Not to shabby!

As a kid I always loved dinosaurs! I just thought they were so cool. At the age of 18, I got saved at a street preaching ministry in Santa Monica, CA. Having never been to a Bible preaching church, and not really known what Salvation was, but knowing only that God did something in my heart that night as I listend to that man preach. I was directed by God's amazing grace to a video by Dr. Kent Hovind (aka Dr. Dino) that my brother just "happend" to have borrowed. 

Because of the title of the video "Dinosaurs and the Bible" I watched it while my brother was at work, and at the end of the video Dr. Hovind explains the plan of Salvation. Believing in God and know knowing how the Dinosaurs fit into the Bible removed all doubt for me.  It was through all of this that I understood what God did for me and how he saved my soul! - This is the very very short version of this story, soon I hope to add both Samantha and My testimony of Salvation.

(At the end of this blog, I have included the video)

Nathan's nursery is really coming along.
