Will, May 2013

This is our first family photo at the new property. The day we signed the lease.

Hilton Head t-shirt from mom and dad that changes colors in the sun. Our favorite.

Jan said Ryan used to suck on his toes like this, too.

Like father, like son



The things we'll do

Finally getting warm enough for stroller rides

Will, February 2013

We had our friend come back and take more pictures when Will was almost six months old.

First real food. Good thing his reaction to rice cereal was nowhere close to a foretelling of how he'd like real food.

Aunt Melissa's hand-made hat

Always wanting to do adult things, even at five months

That pretty much captures it

And this, too.

January 2013, a fresh start on many fronts.

We dedicated Will to the Lord on January 13, 2013.

Ryan's dad was in town for the baby dedication.

At lunch after the dedication

Gwen Whiteman, Diane Youmans, and Martha LaVance. Mom and dad's neighbors, past and present. They had tea parties each week at mom's house on Tuesday afternoons. Since mom passed, they have taken me under their wing. We've had several tea get-togethers since. They are the Lord's grace to my family.

Hahaha

Great Grandma and Grandpa Hardison's first visit

 



Dad kept Will while Ryan and I went to buy Christmas trees



Sweet little profile

It was hardly Christmas in 2012. Mom left us on December 21. We went to Susan's on Christmas Eve and Melissa's on Christmas Day just to be together.
