Summer 2012

This poor blog has fallen to the wayside..let me explain. The Leet family has been busy with birthday parties, camping, house projects, and growing a baby. Yep the last 14 weeks I have been hibernating and trying to survive the first trimester of pregnancy. We made it and I am now starting to get some energy and motivation for life back. All that to say, this post will be some highlights of our Summer so far. That is if I can finish it before Jamison wakes from his nap :)



Peanut Leet #2: 
In May we found out we are having another little one. We are excited to meet this peanut in February. We are also excited for Jamison to be a big brother! Pecan pie was appropriately served for Father's Day to the Leet family. 



Jamison's first birthday:
We did a casual pancake breakfast party in our neighborhood park with friends and family. Jamison experienced his first rush of sugar. I will let the photos speak for themselves. The cupcake/cake was gigantic! We are grateful for his first year and celebrating his life!














Mom's annual camping trip:
Though Jamison just turned one, we took our camping adventure head on and went for it. Deep down I so wanted to pretend that I wasn't pregnant and that Jamison wasn't barely a toddler. We met other mom's in the beautiful wilderness and we had a great time. And yes, we came home at midnight :) I continue to have empathy for single parents as I just don't know how to be sane and raise this boy on my own. Thank God I don't have to. I am hoping Jamison and I can hit up the camping trip next year and leave baby at home with James. I love this photo below. We had a wagon with all our camping gear. Jamison loved riding in the wagon and was content there while I set up the tent. 

More highlights to come as the Summer is not over yet. In a week or so we are headed to the East Coast to introduce Jamison to his big Boppa, whom he was named after. All four of the James Olivers will be there and I plan on documenting the 4 generations!

James and I will also be celebrating our 4th year of marriage in about a week. 

Blessed indeed...

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
