Palmer's Party

Palmer's birth weekend last year didn't go as planned (as in we had no idea we were going to deliver him in Nashville) and his party weekend this year didn't quite go as planned either.

Friday night, poor Palmer looked like this. 

He came down with his first fever.  Poor guy was miserable.  Saturday morning, we took the boys to the doctor.  So thankful that our pediatrician's office is open for sick appointments for 2 hours on Saturdays.  I was prepared to have to wait for long time, but luckily we got right in.

The good news was that he didn't have an ear infection or strep throat.  The bad news is that it was just a virus and we would just have to wait it out.  We mentioned to the doctor that his party was planned for Sunday, and she said he would technically be contagious until he was 24 hours fever free.  

So we waited until 2:00pm Saturday to make the call....exactly 24 hours before his party.  Poor buddy's temperature was 102.5.  I was so sad to cancel, but I texted all our friends coming to the party and told them the situation.  I was sad to tell them all not to come, but I wouldn't want to get anyone sick.

The blessing is that we still had a perfect party with family... my mom, Brandon, Stacey and Grey, Erica, Matt and Lily Claire. 

Here are a few pictures from Palmer's special party day!

Happy Birthday Palmer!

Happy First Birthday Palmer! 

Thank you Lord for this abundant blessing! What a year it has been!  

Palmer, you are loved more than you'll ever know.  Our prayer for you is that you will come to know the Lord at an early age and seek him all the days of your life! 

I love your curiosity and zeal for life! You love to explore your surroundings.  You have an amazing big brother who loves you so much!  You always start clapping when you see Beau for the first time each morning.  

We love you baby boy! I can't even put into words how unbelievable it is that you are one. 

We love you birthday boy! 











Palmer was born at 7:08pm central time.  Nana checked her text message records, and she texted my dad updates at 7:20pm, 8:03pm, and 8:34pm.

Thanks for the visit, Mimi and Grandpa!

type, type, type 

Say Kimchi! 




Hold on tight, Beau! 

Beau was in charge of the "babies" while we enjoyed Steel City Pops in Birmingham. 


Where's Waldo Beau?

We had new carpet installed while Mimi and Grandpa were here and poor Palmer had to sleep in the closet.  Beau was happy to keep him company...or maybe they are saying "get me out of here!" 

We had unseasonably cool March weather, so we were happy for a day warm enough for a trip to the playground! 

whee! 



Three generations working hard.


We were so happy Grey came for a visit! 

Palmer was happy to investigate her!
