The Ginn Family Blog: July 2008

Well - Maizy's birthday has come and gone, and I (mama) am a little sad that she is two, but soooo proud of the little lady she is turning into! She had her check up this week and everything is great! Nathanael is growing like a weed, 11 lbs - can you believe it! He is precious, such a lover boy! Having two children is amazing, and a bit challenging, in a good way! Our babies are so much fun and we have such a good time as a family! We are gearing up for our annual vacation to Ocean City with grammy and papa! Maizy is beside herself with excitement. She talks about the beach, sea shells and sand every day! Our family needs this trip and we are ecstatic. We will keep you updated on all of the fun we will have on vacation!

My life is beautiful! These two babies have captured the very core of me - I adore them!

Our litttle lady -isn't she just perfect!

This little man has stolen our hearts - he is such a lover and I am in love with him!

Oh my we have mama's lips - very kissable!

Maizy and her friends celebrating her 2ND birthday at the Zoo!

I love this pic - what beautiful children!

Look at the animals mommy!

Can you believe it Nathanael is 5 weeks old. Time flies when you are sleep deprived, but very blessed! Nathanael was 7 lbs when we left the hospital 4 weeks ago, and now he is 10 lbs 2 oz - big boy! He is doing great and growing big. Nathan is starting to hold his head up for short periods of time and he is also cooing a bunch! He has a beautiful smile, and gorgeous eyes. Rod says to me, he is only a few weeks old and already a mama's boy. He melts into your arms and snuggles into your chest - I love it! Those characteristics make it worth getting up at night!Recently I was reading the story of Samuel and Hannah - and she makes a statement in the Old testament that states, "For this child, I prayed." It's breath taking to look at our babies and know that both of them our amazing miracles of our AMAZING GOD who hears our cries and answers our prayers! We dedicated Nathanael on July 13 and as we stood there both Rod and I said, "We are privileged that God gave him to us to take care of for such a time as this." God is good and we are thankful for His blessings!

Once again Grammy Cheryl out did herself with a beautiful table for Nathan's dedication dinner!

Check out the shirt - too cute!

Papa praying blessings over Nathanael!

First bath - look at him - precious!

Can you believe we are just days ways from Miss Maizy's second birthday. I swear I blinked and here we are. We had a great party for her with all her friends and family, including Grandma and Grandpa Ginn and Uncle Jason (whom she adores). Everyone enjoyed swimming, Mexican food that Auntie Mindy made and just havin' fun together. Of course, Grammy Cheryl made the day perfect with her amazing decorations and thoughtful ideas. She is never too tired or busy to make things special. It was a very surreal day for me (mommy)- I almost felt like I was having an out of body experience. I should explain, my baby girl who was just a new born is an amazingly, beautiful, perfect little two year old. She can say her ABC's, count, sing, dress herself, put her shoes on, say perfect sentences, make silly comments, figure out a situation much quicker than most adults, throw temper tantrums with the best of them and the list goes on and on. Her daddy and I are blessed beyond measure that God entrusted her to us, WOW, we serve a great God. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
