Happy 1st Brithday Wright!

Wow! Can you believe that our baby will be one tomorrow? Time has FLOWN by! I can't even begin to explain to you how much fun we are having. Wright is walking and has the cutest little personality. I am the happiest mommy in the world! Here are some recent pictures!

Thankful....

We have been traveling a ton this summer while Anthony was out of school...and loved it! I love nothing more than going to see all the fam! Anthony started back to school today, so it was hard this morning to send Wright off to daycare. I found such comfort in knowing that he was with his Daddy everyday. BUT...thankfully he gets to be at daycare all day with his MawMaw, so I shouldn't complain. I know she is taking just as good of care of him as I would! We love you MawMaw!:)

And I have a HUGE praise to share. I recently reconnected with someone very special to me. My brother and I just saw each other last week for the first time in about 15 years. I have no idea how or why we were apart for so long, nor do I really care to know at this point. I am just so thankful to know he is safe, and well, and that he is only a phone call away. I feel more thankful and blessed than I have ever felt in my life. I have a beautiful, healthy family...and so many people to love and that love me. Thank you God for fulfilling my life in more than enough ways. I HAD to post the picture of my brother, John, and my sweet baby Wright!

Have a fabulous week!

It is HOT!

I can't believe how HOT it has been the past few days....but I LOVE IT! We had a fun weekend with my mom and cousin David visiting. But Sunday morning Wright woke up quite fussy and I knew something just wasn't right. We tried to go on about our day, but during church I had to take Wright to the nursery because he was so fussy...and realized he had fever. Needless to say, by the end of the day he was diagnosed with ear infections in both ears. Poor baby! After a couple days of antibiotics and some good lovin'from his mama, he is just fine; he's back to his normal, happy, smily self!

Life is Grand!

Have I seriously not posted anything since April?! Time just seems to get away from me!

We are having so much fun in the Palokas household. I still look at Wright everyday and wonder what I did to deserve such a perfect little boy (well, not literally little). He is sooo happy; he just smiles at everything and everyone. He is content doing just about anything. He loves to sit in the floor and play with his toys, or to be held and snuggled, or to lay in his crib and babble, and of course: to EAT! I can't believe he is seven months old. It seems like just yesterday that I was laying in that hospital bed just praying for a healthy newborn.

I hope you all are having a fantastic start to the summer and that you enjoy the pictures.
