First of all I feel like I need to rewind and start from my first beginnings with Baby James. In November of 2008, this sweet boy was placed in the care of my good friends. I can remember several things about that week and look back now with a smile at how good God is and how He is always light years in front of us seeing, planning, and knowing each step that lies ahead. To make a very sweet story short--Amber called me to take photos of this baby and I couldn't get there fast enough. Because of many circumstances that existed at that time, we were not able to make these photos completely public. It's funny how sometimes my favorite photos are the ones that cannot be made public to you for one reason or another. It is certainly my pleasure now to take you back to the evening of November 20, 2008 and show you James' very first photos with Chad and Amber. For anyone that may not know yet--James is well on his way to being a permanent part of Chad and Amber's home. I love calling him their son and it's even more fun calling them Mommy and Daddy.
Fast forward to April 25, 2009. Baby James is now one year old. His Daddy and Mommy gave him a fun party and many, many people that adore him came out to shower him with love. Some of his family was not able to come and I know they will especially enjoy these photos of the day. There is one special lady serving the Lord in another country that has laid awake since Saturday waiting on them. :o) There is no rhyme or reason to the subjects or order of these photos. They are just of anyone that happened to be in front of my lens at the time.
Everytime I get near his cute head I have to run my fingers through his beautiful curls. I wonder how long he will tolerate that from me? I hope at least through the College and Career ministry. :o)
This guy in the van is next on my list--he just doesn't know it yet. :o)
Brooke had such a great time that she took the tea home with her. Thanks Mr. Todd.

Brooke's sweet little feet were worn out from such a fun party.

That's the coolest party..EVER! Happy 1st birthday, James! :) I love long posts, as well! ;) I also love the shot of Daisy (;
Great pictures as always. Lots of beautiful children in this post. Baby James is very blessed. God works in awesome ways. I love Brooke's shoes. I know another 3 year old that would love them too.
Beautiful pics! I absolutely LOVE the picture of Chad kissing James in their first photo shoot. It brought tears to my eyes. Praise God that He is Healer and Provider!
Thank you so much for these pictures! I'm always amazed by your artistic creativity! God has truly given you a gift! :) And Yes...the pictures were worth the wait! :)
I love baby James soooooooooooo much! I was there that day when they were taking the pictures of him. I remember how much fun he was and he is! I am proud to be his Aunt Emmy! :-) Love you James!!!
Mrs.Pam! These are beautiful! We loved having you at the party! Thank you for taking the time to take and edit these amazing photos! We love you dearly!

I still get goosebumps when I think about their story. :o) Great job!
I'm sure there's a beautiful story to all those beautiful pictures! I love the collages of the simple things at the party - such sweet memories it will make for them. Good job Pam.
Woopsie - that was Karen not Casey :)
Pam,these pictures are so much fun! What a great party and such a blessing to be able to celebrate this special boy and his first birthday! (BTW-can I send the one of me and they boys to Owen? Betty Kay said we're supposed to get him a photo of mom and kids and I don't have anything recent!)
Thanks you everyone. Many sweet people=many sweet photos. Makes my job pretty easy!
Steph-yes of course you can. Do you have it saved or do you want me to do it?
I have it-Thanks! (I didn't realize how few photos I have of ME with my children-I'll have to make Charlie pick up the camera more often!)
These pictures are so incredible!!! It was such a fun and special day and you captured it beautifully!!! I am so thankful for so many sweet friends! And I am so blessed as I relive what has taken place in the lives of Chad, Amber and James over the past 7 months!!! God is so good!
