Update and Pics

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays as much as we have.  It was a nice holiday season for the three of us, and we are forever grateful for all the people in our lives who have shown our little man so much love over the past year.  Enjoy the photos!

More Photos

I've added a number of photos to the web album from his birthday, his twelve month tie pics, and decorating the Bendik's Christmas tree.  Some of the keepers are below, but check out the web album for more good photos.  You can expect more photos for Christmas, so check back in a week or so.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Birthday Weekend

Noah's first birthday is this coming Tuesday, but we celebrated this weekend with family and friends.  We gathered our families on Saturday for a party, and we are having friends over on Sunday to keep the celebration going.  Needless to say, Saturday was a special day for Jana and me, as we can barely imagine that it has been a year since our little man came into our lives.  We love Noah dearly and look forward to and appreciate each day as the blessing that it is.

In other news, Noah is officially walking!  He took his first steps over a month ago, but hadn't done much since.  Last weekend, though, he started taking more steps and has been walking everywhere since then.  I added a video below, which was maybe his second or third go at it.

Enjoy the photos and the video!
