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

Splish, Splash, Nathan having fun in his first bath!

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

Baby Shower!





Thanks to Mom Leeder for the Daddy survival basket!



SURPRISE!!
Mom Leeder and Sara Leeder had a wonderful surprise in store for Samantha. They flew out Samantha's maid of honor, so she could be apart of this wonderful day. 

In the video, Samantha was told to come over right away, and when she did, everyone had their phones or cameras out. Meanwhile Bethany was hiding behind a bunch of balloons. 

It didn't take Samantha long to figure out who was hiding behind all those
balloons. What a great surprise!
"IT'S BETHANY!!!"



This way to the party!

Sara, excited about the melted candy game!




Shhh. Daddy stole a plate of food...

"Ready to POP" popcorn bags
Styrofoam cup baby booties! 






Doesn't Mamaw look happy? We love you!



Andrea made a bear riding a motorcycle, out of dipers and a baby bottle!

My mom, with Samantha!






Samantha and her mom worked really hard on all the decorations. I think they came out great! Special thanks to the girls who came out the night before to set up the decorations.






We want to thank everyone who attended, sent gifts or helped out in anyway. Just knowing you will be praying for Nathan was more than enough. It was very humbling to know how many people already love little Nathan.

With each new stage in our life we are continually reminded of how many wonderful people God has placed in our lives. God has been so good to us.
