Merry Christmas from the Argos!

It is two days before Christmas and as I write this, I am overwhelmed as I think back on this past year. My life is so filled with love and blessings. Looking at these pictures, trying to decide which ones to put on here, I know that my life is full. I have so much to be grateful for.

I couldn't imagine going through life with anyone other than my dear Jason. I am so thankful that God handpicked us for eachother!

When I look at our sweet little girl, I can't help, but think of her as our miracle. She is learning and changing everyday and is growing up much too quickly for my liking!

This year especially, I have thought of Mary and all that she had to deal with at such a young age. She was told that she would carry a babe in her belly that was born to be our Savior. She would have to watch her son, whom she loved and adored, give His life for us. How thankful I am for her courage and strength. Even more, I am so thankful for our Jesus who came here, so that we will one day live forever with Him.

We hope and pray that your Christmas is filled with love, joy,peace, and hope. Allow the miracle of Christmas live within your hearts everyday.

xoxo

~Thank you to our sweet friend, Amy Rau, for taking these wonderful pictures!~

MERRY CHRISTMAS WITH LOVE! XOXO

On December 4th, our sweet boy would have been 4 months old. There is not a day that goes by that we don't ache for him. Some days are better than others. We can't help but think of how our life would be different if he didn't go to be with Jesus. When we see babies that are his age or hear a baby's cry in church, our heart just hurts. It is still difficult for me to go to the baby section and see all the little boy clothes that I should be buying. I am suppose to have an infant in my arms, and my heart AND body doesn't let me forget it.
I die a little inside when I see Jason looking at fathers with their sons with longing in his eyes.
Though there are bad days, even those days are laced with joy. We are so thankful for God's amazing love and strength. We are so blessed to have family and friends that are a constant support. We couldn't get through each day without the knowledge that our God has given us a hope and a future. We can't help but look at all we are blessed with and be overwhelmed with all that God has given us.
This prayer is constant in our hearts:
Dear Jesus,
We dreamed of the day that we would hold him in our arms and tell him all about You. Now we ask You to hold him in Your arms and tell him all about us.

Kiss our sweet boy for us, Jesus.

So, I know it has been WAY too long and frankly, I am overwhelmed by all of the pictures that I want to share with you. I sat down tonight and had very good intentions of catching up, but for some reason blogger is not letting me download pictures!
We are doing well. We are very excited to spend Thanksgiving in Philadelphia with Jason's side of the family ~ always a great time! On the 28th we are going to Syracuse because my dear cousin Anna is getting married to her fiance' Bronson and we can't wait! So, we are going to be busy, busy, busy. There is never a dull day in the Argo house.
Thank you for your ongoing love and prayers. We appreciate them and need them so very much.
We love you all and promise to get pictures up soon. Blessings!

P.S. Stay tuned for pictures of the cutest ballerina you have ever seen!!

Look Who's 2!!!

Our Rowen turned 2 years old on the 13th of this month, but we had her party on the 12th at my parents house. She is CRAZY about Mickey and Minnie Mouse, so that is the party she received! We decided to have the party at my parents house this year. We were so happy to spend time with family and our best friends from Buffalo, the Arnolds. We were sad though, because Jason's parents were not able to come, but Rowen will have her own celebration with them in a couple of weeks!!! We can't wait!

We had so much fun doing SO many things! We played in the sand and...

even got a birthday smooch (but don't tell Daddy!)!

We took a walk down to the pond.

Spent time with our bestest friends!

The Daddies pulled us in the wagon when we got tired.

We romped through the fields with our Mommies running after us and our Daddies worrying about ticks!

We even took time to smell the flowers underneath the apple trees.

We ate yummy food with our friends and family.

Look at ALL the balloons! My cousin Jenny even had a "bouquet" of balloons delivered to the party. Rowen's first delivery!

Nathan REALLY liked my mom's dill dip! :)

"Can we open presents NOW Mommy?"

"I am SO excited!!!"

We finally get to open them!

"Look at my beautiful hat that Gi Gi and Anna got me!"

The fun Minnie cupcakes that we were up until the wee hours of the night decorating, but it was worth it!

The cupcake decorators! Watch out Cake Boss!
Thank you everyone for making our little girl's birthday SO special. We love you!

"Yay, I'm 2!!!

School Days!

Today was Rowen's first day of preschool! She is now going to the Creative Learning Center Preschool that we have at our church for 3 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. We can't believe that our baby girl is almost 2 years old! I think we had a harder time with it then she did.

She was so excited to wear her "big girl backpack"!

"Mommy stop taking pictures and come on!"

"Faster Daddy, faster!"

When we arrived, the first place she went to was the "kitchen" to "cook".

This was what she was still doing when we left.

All ready and packed to go home!

"Momma, Daddy, I made HAT!!!" And when we asked if she had fun, this is the smile we got!
