The Reason

Life as a Clayton is very busy. Beautiful, substantial, important, lovely and busy. Why would this be? Well, the main reason would be because of a little man born on August 26 last year.

His name is Dexter Ward Clayton.

And he's our dream come true!

In about a week, he'll be six months old already. I really want to get back on the bandwagon of documenting our lovely and exciting life here. I love the record keeping aspect of it. As well, I love going back and browsing old posts and reminiscing.

A lot has happened over the past while. Some fabulous, some sad. But we know our Heavenly Father is watching out for our little family.

Some highlights include:

-Traveling! (of course!)
We've been to Panorama for Daniel's Birthday. Calgary for a little summer fun with Matt's family. An epic family roadtrip to Las Vegas. And a getaway of just me and the kids to Canmore. Also, quite a number of trips to Regina.

-We've also had a couple dear family members pass on. I lost my grandpa (papa) in November. And Daniel lost his sweet mother in December. Through these hard times, it was so lovely to see so many family members come together though.

-Above all else, welcoming Dexter into our family was the most spectacular adventure we partook in! We love that little guy so much it's hard to grasp!

His chubby cheeks make me squeal, his giggles make me burst, his soft baby hair makes me melt, his tiny fingers steal my heart.
