One Year Older and Wiser Too

Little O is now 1! Oh, how the time goes by. It feels like just yesterday I was put on bedrest and was unbelievably bored for the next 5 months. How difficult that was... and then again, compaired to having the little one here... Lets just say: Fun days at the DeVaux house.

I cannot believe it's been a full year! It seems like it took little Oscar Arthur Pascal DeVaux viii a wintery molasses to get here and now it's been a year. How he's grown and developed in that year though. He is running around, chasing AdaBelle and hollering. He squeals like a girl and tackles like a linebacker. :)
We had a really fun time. I had 6 paper boxes I brought home from work and all the kids made their own "car" out of them. We had paint and stickers and buttons and lots of fun.

*the invitations I sent out are in ppt format so I'm unable to post pics right now. I'll work on that and see if I can upload them later*

Reflections

I have been reflecting lately on the more simpler times in my life. Marriage and family seem to complicate things. I wouldn't change it for the world, but things that used to be easy, like grocery shopping and going to the library and going to sleep, have become more difficult.

I often think about high school days when YM/YW on wednesday nights were my biggest worry. (if I had only known *_*) The days, and nights, spent crying into my pillow or to my parents about how some click at church or school had been mean to me or that some boy didn't like me or I had to face yet another surgery. How often it seems we become wrapped up in our daily life and forget about the big picture. If I could go back in time, with the knowledge I have now, worrying would be the last thing I would do. School would be my main focus. Living life the the fullest and just having fun.


To all of those who have this opportunity, ENJOY it. Savor it. When you find "the one" spend time with them and not worry about marriage and family. Love eachother (without relations) and become best friends. This way when the years go by and the kids grow up and all your kindergarten friends are gone, you'll still have your friendship to nurture your love.

Not that this blog is my "woe's me" sound board, It just feels better to get it out of my heart and into space.
