This was Cash's second summer vacation to Brockport, NY and it did not disappoint. We had a great time and cannot wait until next summer. Thank you, Memaw and Pepaw, for another fun summer of relaxation and life long memories. We love you!

Here we are at the St. Paul's egg hunt. This is where Cash will go to school in the Fall.

Galveston

2011-08-07T21:44:00.005-05:00

Houston Rodeo

2011-04-02T20:26:00.005-05:00

March in Houston means rodeo season! We decided it was time to take Cash to his first official rodeo to check out the live stock show. We had such a great time with our friends Nikki and Randy and their kids Alex and Cameron (he's a few months older than Cash). Cash's favorite was the petting zoo and we can't wait to go back next year!

We are in trouble!

Winterfest!

2011-03-02T23:01:00.003-06:00

Some friends told us about Winterfest in Pearland and we had ever heard of such a thing...snow and sleds in Pearland in January?? We decided we had to check it out. It was so much more than just winter activities. There were bounce houses of every size, carnival rides, a petting zoo, sausage-on-a-stick, you name it, they had it! Cash had a great time riding rides, petting the animals and just running in the field. We are looking forward to Winterfest 2012!

Cash's Baptism

2011-03-02T22:59:00.004-06:00

We joined Chapelwood United Methodist Church several months ago and in January we baptized Cash. It was a wonderful service and we were so fortunate to have so many of our close friends and family attend the special occasion.

December favorites

2011-02-26T22:11:00.003-06:00

Here are some of our favorites from the busy month of December.

12/28/2010...Oh special day!

2011-02-26T22:00:00.008-06:00

We have been waiting for 12/28/2010 all year and now that it's here, it's bitter sweet. Cash is no longer a little baby :( We can't believe our little monkey is 1!!
This year has flown by and we have loved every minute. Here are a few pictures from the birthday celebration, and while we are at it, Cash' stats from his 1 year check up:

27lbs 2 oz
33 inches tall
I believe both are 95%...BIG BOY!

Special thanks to our good friend and photographer, Jared Tennant (http://www.jtpics.com), for coming in town to shoot the party.

First Christmas

2011-02-26T21:16:00.007-06:00

Cash's first Christmas began with a visit to Santa. We were dressed in our best and ready to go, forged ahead through the 2.5 hour wait and when we got to the front of the line....you guessed it..MELTDOWN! Photo opp aside, Cash had a great first Christmas spending time with family and especially opening presents from Santa. The big guy did not disappoint!

Christmas with the Clark's

Christmas with the Spurgeon's...sadly, we didn't realize that Cash was already in bed until it was time to take the picture. We attempted it again at Cash's birthday party, but Rick wasn't able to join us. We will get it right next year!

Christmas morning fun!

Zoo Round 2

2011-02-26T20:58:00.003-06:00

We took Cash to the Houston Zoo when he was a wee babe, but had not been back since. You betcha on the first sign of a nice December day we headed straight for the Zoo Round 2! Cash had a great time watching all of the animals and riding the carousel and we plan to make it a regular family outing.

11 Months Old!

2010-12-03T21:20:00.004-06:00

It's here...the last month before our sweet baby boy turns the big 1! This was the first month that we could not get a smile out of our happy boy. He must be saving them all up for December :)

I love you!

2010-12-03T21:00:00.002-06:00

It seems that so many of my pictures and videos of Cash are when he's sitting in his highchair and I have him still and in one spot. This, by far, is one of my favorites. Turn your volume up and be patient...he speaks the sweetest words a mom could hear. I love my sweet Cash!

Happy Thanksgiving

2010-12-03T20:52:00.003-06:00

Here's one of the only pictures we took of our poor runny nose turkey on his first Thanksgiving. We had a great time celebrating with both of our families and are already looking forward to next Thanksgiving.

November....where did it go!?!?

2010-12-03T20:26:00.004-06:00

It's hard to believe November has come and gone. We had a busy month, but fell down on the picture taking :( We will without a doubt make up for it in December! Here are a few photos of the month and the sweet Clark men :)

Happy Halloween!

2010-10-31T23:05:00.003-05:00

For Cash's first Halloween he dressed up as the blue monster. Here's our sweet boy!

Some October Favorites

2010-10-31T22:49:00.006-05:00

10 Months Old!

2010-10-31T22:26:00.003-05:00

Cash is now in double digits in his age! 10 months has never gone by so fast! Now that we are officially walking EVERYWHERE sitting still seems really boring, making the monthly chair photos much more difficult. This month Daddy had to intervene.

Happy Fall, Y'all

2010-10-31T22:08:00.005-05:00

This is Cash's very first Fall....Happy Fall, Y'all!
We decided it was only appropriate to take him to the pumpkin patch so we loaded up and headed out. Here are a few photos and even though it was still in the high 80s, we had a great time!

The Wheels on the Bus...

2010-10-31T21:47:00.004-05:00

If you have been to our house, you know that Cash is not lacking any toys that a little boy would want to play with, BUT he did not have his own school bus....So, when Jack and Hayes Fisher proclaimed that they no longer wanted their super fun school bus, we jumped at the chance to go green and take it off their hands.
Cash has loved playing on his bus and loves having friends over to join in on the fun. The last picture is Cash and his friend, Makenzie Hill, having a great time.

Baby Steps

2010-09-30T21:04:00.002-05:00

Cash did not want to disappoint this month so tonight he decided it was the right time to take a few steps on his own! Here's a video of him showing off his skills. He's a little unsure, but I'm sure he will have it down in no time!

Check out my new trick!

2010-09-29T22:06:00.002-05:00

Cash has discovered that he is more mobile that he thought! He started walking with his walker toy this week and has already discovered that he can do it with just one hand (not on this video though). Momma and Daddy are lacing up the running shoes in preparation to keep up!!

Happy 9 Month Birthday, Cash!

2010-09-29T21:59:00.003-05:00

As always, this month has flown by. Cash is 9 months old and has kept us busy! He's crawling everywhere and pulls up on anything he can find. He has 8 teeth and is wearing 18 month clothes.
He had his 9 month check up and here are his stats:
24.6 lbs - 95%
29.25 inches - 80%
Happy 9 month birthday to our sweet boy!

September Favorites

Here are a few more photos of our sweet boy from September.

2010-09-29T21:40:00.004-05:00

Cash's latest obsession is the kitchen cabinets. He loves crawling around and pulling on each and every door. Thank goodness Daddy child-proofed them all a few months ago in preparation for this day :)

Just a Swingin'

2010-09-29T21:27:00.004-05:00

We took Cash to the park down the street from our house for the first time this month. It was a pretty hot day, but that didn't stop us from a few good pushes in the swing. Cash had a great time, so we will definitely be back once it cools down.

Labor Day 2010

2010-09-29T20:56:00.004-05:00

Labor Day this year was extra fun at the Clark house. We had Sarah, Rick, Jacob, Emily and Grandpa over to grill and hang out in the pool. It was a great day! Here are a few photos of the festivities.

Brusha, brusha, brusha!

2010-08-29T22:49:00.005-05:00

We needed something to keep Cash occupied when we are doing things like putting on his PJs, changing his diaper, combing his hair, etc. and he has a mouth full of teeth now so we decided to get him a tooth brush. It's done the trick and keeps our little monkey occupied as we had hoped!

Soccer star in the making

2010-08-29T22:49:00.004-05:00

Look who's clapping now!

2010-08-29T22:42:00.004-05:00

Cash started clapping this month! It's amazing how proud little moments like this make parent's feel.

8 Month Birthday

2010-08-29T22:35:00.003-05:00

Cash turned 8 months old on August 28. He's learning new things every day and is such a joy in our lives. Here are some photos of his birthday celebration.

First Haircut

2010-08-29T21:54:00.006-05:00

We took Cash for his first haircut this weekend! He did great and was not even phased by the clippers. Here are some photos of our sweet boy.

Where did August go?

2010-08-29T21:24:00.011-05:00

August has been a blur around here. It seems like we have been on the go the entire month. Cash has grown so much and continuous to amaze us every day. Here are some photos of him from this month.

Car Watching

2010-08-29T20:38:00.003-05:00

One of Cash's favorite things to do these days is sit on the corner of our street and watch cars drive by. He studies each one and follows them until they are no longer in his sight. He's so calm when we are out there that we started adding this to our bedtime routine.

Some July Favorites

2010-07-31T15:16:00.003-05:00

7 Month Birthday

2010-07-31T15:06:00.003-05:00

Paw-paw's Birthday Celebration

2010-07-31T14:56:00.003-05:00

Cash's Paw-Paw had a birthday on July 22 and we were able to go down to Pearland to help celebrate. We had a great time and Paw-Paw and Ganny's house. We can't wait to celebrate again next year!

4th of July

2010-07-31T14:32:00.004-05:00

We had a great 4th of July in Houston! We went over to our good friends, Amie and Richy's, to celebrate the 4th and Amie's birthday. Here are some photos of the festivities from the day.

First Visit to Brockport, NY

2010-07-23T21:16:00.007-05:00

On June 29, Cash, momma and Emily boarded a flight to Rochester, NY to visit Memaw and Pepaw. It's so relaxing and Cash had a wonderful first visit. While we were there we celebrated Memaw and Pepaw's 65th wedding anniversary with some of their closest friends. We were so fortunate that Grandma Amy's best friends from college, Judy and Kathy, were also able to make the trip to celebrate and meet Cash. Needless to say, Cash received a lot of attention from everyone while in NY. He can't wait to go back next summer.

The weather was quite cool when we were in Brockport, but Cash got 1 day to relax in the backyard with Memaw and Pepaw.

6 month birthday celebration

2010-07-23T21:00:00.004-05:00

Time is going WAY TOO FAST because Cash is already 6 months old!....boohoohoo :(
Here are some pictures from our 6 month birthday celebration. Momma and Daddy-o celebrated with ice cream sundaes this month :)

6 Month Check Up

2010-07-23T20:38:00.008-05:00

Cash is growing into a strong young boy and he was so brave at his 6 month check up...especially when it was vaccine time :( Here are some photos and stats from his visit.

Weight - 20 lb 8 oz - 90 percentile
Height - 27.5 inches - 95 percentile

Such a sweet outfit

2010-07-04T12:58:00.005-05:00

There's a bit of history behind this. Cash's Grandma Amy was Godmother to our dear friend, Joshua Kramer. She gave Josh this outfit when he was a baby. There is a photo of Josh wearing this adorable outfit and Cash' momma when they were little (circa 1979). Cash received it as a gift from Josh's mom, Karen Kramer, at one of his baby showers. Nicole Kramer Thrasher, Josh's sister, had a baby shower on June 12 and it just so happened that the outfit fit! It made it's debut after 30 years of being tucked away in a special place :) We are excited that Josh and his wife, Kelly, just added a baby boy to their beautiful family on July 2. We can't wait to pass this sweet outfit on to him!

Here's Cash wearing the same outfit Josh had on. He is surrounded by Sadie Kramer (Josh's daughter), Jenna and Samantha Bleik (Shannon Kramer Bleik's twin girls) and Karen Kramer

Splish splash

2010-06-25T22:36:00.003-05:00

Cash has recently discovered how to splash in his bath tub and baby pool. He has so much fun in the water!

Memorial Day 2010

2010-06-25T22:11:00.003-05:00

We had a great Memorial Day 2010! Some of our friends came over and we grilled and swam in the pool. Everyone had a great time and can't wait to do it again soon!

5 month birthday

2010-06-25T22:04:00.002-05:00

Cash turned 5 months on May 28. We can't believe how fast time is flying by. Here are a few photos from his birthday chair and celebration. Momma and Dadda had cinnamon rolls while Cash enjoy his peas :)

TEETH!

2010-06-25T22:02:00.003-05:00

We can't believe it! Cash cut his first tooth on May 11 and his second on May 15!! It wasn't as rough as we had expected...phew! He loves to chew on his toys and his momma's fingers. I will try to get a good photo of the chompers and add them to the blog.

A few May favorites

2010-06-25T20:55:00.002-05:00

Play Group Fun

2010-06-25T20:51:00.003-05:00

Cash joined a play group that meets every Tuesday afternoon. He has made quite a few friends and so has his momma. We really enjoy our Tuesday outings with the group. Here is a pic from one of the gatherings in May. He loves hanging with his pal, Harrison!

Cereal, veggies and fruit, oh my!

2010-06-25T20:47:00.003-05:00

We received the green light from Cash's doctor that we could start him on solids! We first introduced him to rice cereal....YUMMO!

The cereal went so well that we decided to graduate him up to peas. His favorites are sweet potatoes and squash. He's such a big boy!

Sprint for Life - May 1

2010-06-25T20:33:00.003-05:00

May 1st was the 13th Annual Sprint for Life, our 9th year to participate and Cash's 1st Sprint! It is always such a wondeful event. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends that are willing to participate with us every year, and after the walk we all head to Katz's for breakfast. Here are a few photos from the event. Cash is already looking forward to next year and to participating in Sprint for Sprouts! Thank you to everyone that came out to help raise money for ovarian cancer research!!

Some April Favorites

2010-05-02T22:01:00.005-05:00

Here are a few favorite photos from April. As you can see, Cash is very interested in the camera these days. Great, except he stops smiling as soon as he spots it! Hopefully he will out grow this soon. I miss my smiling boy pictures :(

4 Month Check-up and Birthday Celebration

2010-05-02T21:34:00.004-05:00

It's hard to believe Cash is already 4 months old. Time really does fly!
Apparently, we have a big boy on our hands. When his doctor walked in to the exam room she politely said "he looks like a 9 month old!" He's still the sweetest, most well behaved baby EVER and we feel so blessed to call him our son. Here are his latest stats from his check-up as well as his birthday celebration photos.

Weight - 16.7 pounds (80%)
Height - 27 inches (90%)

Pralines from Los Tios was the dessert of choice for April...Yummo!

River Dance Crew, here I come!

2010-05-02T21:10:00.004-05:00

We decided that Cash was ready for his bouncy seat so we lugged it from the garage and set it up. Little did we know we would be uncovering Cash's hidden talent as part of the River Dance Crew! We will be charging admission to his shows soon ;)

National Take Your Kid to Work Day

2010-05-02T20:54:00.003-05:00

National Take Your Kid to Work Day was on April 22 (yes, it's a real day), but we modified the date to April 29 and got Cash ready to go! Sporting his very own Cash J Clark scrubs, courtesy of Uncle Mout, Amy, Hudson and Adelei, Cash was ready to go. He and Steve headed to Hermann to check out the boards and see what surgeries were in store for them.

Getting ready to head to the hospital.

Getting ready for surgery. Come on boys, go sell some X-fixes!

I LOVE my TOES!

2010-05-02T20:45:00.005-05:00

Cash has had several "firsts" this month....his first time to roll over from his stomach to his back (he's been going the other way for a while now), first Easter, first time to sleep over 9 hours straight (wish he were still doing it!) and HIS favorite....first time to suck on his toes! Yes, he has found his toes and LOVES putting them in his mouth (GASP!).

Nope, toes are not going in this mouth!!

Well, they look a little interesting....

What have I been holding out all this time for?!?!?! These things are GREAT!

Look who's rolling over!

2010-04-11T22:01:00.002-05:00

Yep, that's right! Our Cash can ROLL OVER! He did it once before on March 28, but we actually got it on video this time.

Easter Weekend 2010

2010-04-09T18:12:00.006-05:00

We had such a fun Easter weekend. It started Saturday with the Memorial Park 4 Miler with Lisa, Mark and Addie Harris. I don't know what we were thinking, but we didn't get any pictures :(
Later that day Momma and Daddy's friends, Angela and Patrick, were in town all the way from Atlanta, Georgia and they came to visit us. We had so much fun hanging out with them!
And finally Easter Sunday! We went to Chapelwood for a wonderful service then headed down to Pearland. Sadly, our Easter weekend celebration was cut short when Daddy was called out to work. At least Cash got to hunt his Easter egg and enjoy his basket full of goodies!

Hanging with Daddy, Angela and Patrick

Easter Sunday!!

Cash is 3 Months Old!

2010-04-09T18:11:00.005-05:00

We just can't believe how fast our little man is growing. Cash turned 3 months on March 28 and he continues to amaze us every day. He's starting to fill his chair out a little better too :)
Here are a few pictures of the 3 month birthday celebration. Cousin Jacob was there, which made it extra special!

Chatty Cashy

2010-03-26T00:32:00.005-05:00

Cash has become REALLY talkative lately! Here's a great clip of his conversations. If only we knew what he was saying!! He gets a bit camera shy once he spots me :)

Sorry for the video not being rotated properly...I'm not sure how to do that yet.

A few more photos of Spring Break 2010

2010-03-26T00:01:00.005-05:00

Thank you Memaw and Pepaw! We had a wonderful Spring break!

Spring Break 2010 - Fort Lauderdale, FL

2010-03-25T23:24:00.012-05:00

We were so excited to be in Florida and Cash could not WAIT to see Memaw and Pepaw! He even wore a special shirt just for them!

Saturday, Memaw and Pepaw had a big night planned for us! We went to the condo's St. Patrick's Day party. Everyone wore their best green and we went to feast on the corned beef, cabbage, potatos and soda bread....all the irish specialties.

Cash also had his first swim in the pool and first trip to the beach while we were there! It was all very exciting, but also tiring. A nap with waves crashing in the background was just what he needed :)

Momma slowly easing Cash into the pool.

I think I like it! Especially with cousin Jacob hanging out with me!!

Yep - I like it! Can't wait to get home and do this in the pool at my house!

Once we finished at the pool we decided to take a walk to the beach. It was a perfect day!! Cash decided it was time for a nap, but Jacob dug a big hole so that he could get burried in the sand.

Leaving on a jet plane....

2010-03-25T22:33:00.004-05:00

Spring Break 2010 had many firsts for our sweet Cash. It all started with his first plane ride. Destination: Fort Lauderdale, Florida! We had to do his first Spring Break up right. Even though our flight was delayed 1.5 hours, Cash did great on the flight and slept the entire way there!

Too cute for words!

2010-03-10T20:52:00.003-06:00

Here are some pics that we just couldn't resist posting of our little man.
He is just too cute for words!!!

Tuesdays with Grandpa Spud

2010-03-10T20:41:00.003-06:00

Every Tuesday since Cash arrived his Grandpa Spud has made a trip out to see him. Sometimes they visit and sometimes Cash sleeps, but one thing is for sure...they have a standing Tuesday morning date that has not been broken yet. Cash loves this special time and loves his Grandpa Spud!

2 month check up

2010-03-10T20:33:00.004-06:00

We took Cash in for his 2 month check up on March 1. He weighed in at 12 pounds 15 ounces and 23.5 inches and is now in the 75% for height and weight. We are so proud of our growing boy!

He also received his first round of shots and was such a trooper!!

2 months old

2010-02-28T20:59:00.004-06:00

Cash turned 2 months old today, February 28. He is growing so much and learning new things daily. We can't believe how fast 2 months has flown by and we love him more and more each second.

To celebrate his 2 month birthday, we made rootbeer floats. YUM! Emily was able to join us for the festivities. Thanks, Em, for making it extra special!

I love Gymboree!

2010-02-28T20:46:00.004-06:00

Cash took his first Gymboree class this Saturday and loved it! He was the youngest in the class, but he was not the smallest :) He loved all of the new songs and sounds and especially loved the bubbles! We can't wait to go back next Saturday.

Go Texan Day

2010-02-28T20:40:00.002-06:00

Here in Houston, nothing is bigger than the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and to kick it all off is "Go Texan Day"! Although we did not head to the Rodeo Cookoff or carnival, Cash did partake in dressing in his cowboy best. Yeehaw!!

A visit from Auntie Abby

2010-02-28T20:35:00.004-06:00

Cash's Auntie Abby came to meet him for the first time last weekend. He was so excited to meet her. She drove all the way in from Dallas to squeeze on him. We had a great weekend and can't wait to see her again. Hopefully he will be able to meet Mimi and Uncle J soon too!
Thanks, Abby, for making the trip! We love you!

Perfect day for the ZOO!

2010-02-14T21:28:00.001-06:00

We had the most beautiful weather in Houston today so we decided to take Cash on his first trip to the ZOO! He slept the entire time, but it was still great to get out and enjoy the day.

Check out the leopard just over Cash's shoulder!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day from our little HUNK!

Just can't get enough!

2010-02-14T21:09:00.000-06:00

We just can't get enough of our little man! Here are a few photos from February.

This is one of my most favorite things! I LOVE it when he rests his head on my shoulder and we just relax. :)

Just relaxing on his elephant

Hanging with his buds - the Atherton boys - Will and Andy. They thought Cash was a lot of fun :)

Tummy time is exhausting! He zonked out while in the middle of it!

I found my fist!

This week Cash started drooling a lot and sucking on his hand. At first we thought maybe he was teething early, but then we realized he was just looking for something to suck on. He found his fist and has been going to town on it! He looks so sweet and innocent. :)

Shake Rattle

2010-02-12T14:16:00.000-06:00

Cash began clinching his fists a few weeks ago so we thought this was the perfect time to get down momma's sterling rattle from when she was a baby and see if he would grab on. We are proud to report that he's starting to get the hang of it! We just love this little boy!

I love my chair!

2010-01-29T14:46:00.000-06:00

We bought Cash this chair before he was born and thought it would be fun to take a picture of him in it every month on his birthday to see how much he has grown. Here are the first few shots we captured of him. We can't believe how much his looks have changed in just the first month! He gets more handsome every day.

1 Month Old!

2010-01-29T14:41:00.001-06:00

Cash turned 1 month old yesterday on January 28! We can't believe how fast he's growing!!
To celebrate we made chocolate cupcakes and had some yummy chocolate milk! Momma and Daddy sure did enjoy the celebration - Cash is still too young to partake, but at the rate he's growing he'll be indulging in the cupcakes with us soon! Here are a few pictures of the celebration.

Trip to the Park

2010-01-29T14:35:00.000-06:00

We took Cash for a walk to the park when we were having the nice Spring-like weather here in Houston. He loved it! He admired the play ground from afar and can't wait until he's big enough to run and play with his friends; although momma and daddy want him to stay little for a while longer :)

2 week check up

2010-01-16T12:02:00.000-06:00

Cash went in for his 2 week check up on Monday, 1/11. He weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and is 21 inches long!! We are so happy and thankful that we have a healthy, growing boy!

First play date with the boys!

2010-01-08T13:59:00.000-06:00

Cash had his first play date with his "cousins" Will and Andy Atherton and Husdon Mouton. They all had a great time and we were able to get a picture of the mommy's and their boys and the daddy's and their little men. There was a lot of excitement and energy throughout the evening and we are looking forward to our next get together when we will have the addition of Adelei Mouton.

Cash's first Longhorn football game

2010-01-08T13:57:00.000-06:00

Last night we watch the Texas Longhorns play in the Rose Bowl for the National Championship. This was Cash's first Longhorn football game! Such an exciting time for Daddy, although it broke Mommy's heart to dress Cash in burnt orange....He did look awfully cute though! Sadly, the Horns came up short...maybe next year boys.

I think Cash feels more comfortable in maroon. Hopefully the Aggies will have a better year in 2010 and we can cheer them on in the National Championship game! Whoop! :)

1 Week Check Up

2010-01-06T21:58:00.000-06:00

We went to see Cash's pediatrician on Monday for his 1 week check up. He did great, of course! He's a growing boy and has changed so much in just 1 week. Here are some of his stats.
Weight - 7 lbs 14 oz, 50%
Height - 20 inches, 50%-75%
Head Circumference - 36 inches, 50%

Here he is anxiously waiting to go up the elevator to see Dr. Miller...

Waiting in the doctors office...

Such a big boy! 7 lb 14 oz. Cash gained 10oz since leaving the hospital!!

Bath time

2010-01-03T22:54:00.000-06:00

We are so lucky to have such a good baby! He pretty much eats and sleeps and looks around at his new surroundings, and he RARELY cries. He doesn't even cry at bath-time!
Here are a few pics of his second bath. He did great!

All that bath time tires him out! Time for bed...

Frown, smile, smile

2010-01-02T23:36:00.000-06:00

Here's a video of our sweet baby boy. This was his first time sitting in his car seat carrier. We had to safety test it before leaving the hospital. Although he was a bit hesitant at first, he eventually gave it is his approval. :)

Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T21:09:00.000-06:00

2009 was a great year for the Clarks! We got married in February and had our baby boy on December 28. It's going to be a tough year to beat, but we know that with Cash it will be action packed and full of fun.

Even though Cash was just a few days old, he wanted to ring in the new year in style. Here he is in his flashy duds!

Cash James Clark

2010-01-02T17:13:00.000-06:00

Cash James Clark arrived happy and healthy on Monday, December 28, 2009! He was 7 pounds 9.3 ounces and 20 inches long - simply perfect! He is so sweet and is a true blessing. We are blessed to have him as part of our family and love him more and more every minute.
Our plan is to update this blog periodically to keep everyone informed on how Cash is growing and developing. Please check back often to see how our little man is doing.
