Look at this proud mommy admiring her baby boy. Already such a priceless bond!
Sorry, Dolly, I think you thought I was getting both of you in this picture, but Michael is the true star of the show. Look at this little face--could he be any cuter, seriously!?!?!
So peaceful...I never heard him cry once! 
It was very sentimental seeing Dolly with her new baby....I loved thinking of all the deep talks we had about our future husbands, kids, life and it was so wonderful to see how God has blessed her. I can't wait for Samuel to meet his new buddy!
Samuel will be one year old in a few weeks, but we could not wait to give him his new toy. It was a hit as you can tell in the videos.

YAY!! Love seeing pics of that little Michael, he is a cutie!! The videos of Samuel are adorable, he is walking so well! Those videos have to go on a cd for when he gets older.
you are right...no one gets sick of these baby posts! I love that picture of you and dolly. it IS very sentimental, isn't it? I've been so emotional!
i can't watch the videos right now, but i'll get back on here later!
love ya
So glad you were able to go see the Seckmans and meet sweet Michael! Thanks for posting your pictures...of course we want to see more. ;o) Dolly DOES NOT look like she just had a baby. Love the one of the two of you!
And what a fun toy for Samuel! I can't believe that he will be one already.....as I'm sure you can't even more. :O) From your pics, etc. what a year it has been! You and Brian have been GREAT parents. May the Lord continue to lead you guys as you raise sweet Samuel.
It is wonderful seeing Dolly now a MaMa. I am sure that Dolly will use another MaMa, Amy, as a great resource. Great to see you two college chums being mothers and no doubt the both of you will be great at it. It is hard keeping up with Samuel, when he was on the swing I thought maybe he would be a jet pilot now I think he may prefer race car driving. For sure he enjoys speed. Thanks Amy for your great blogs.
I got some of the video on the regular recorder--sad how we forget to get that thing out! Teecy--I know, it is emotional! I can't wait for you to get back to the states for good...all of our kids will benefit from it...miss you!
Ashleigh--that was a sweet comment, thank you! It was a treat to visit the Seckman's. And, yes, it has been quite a year raising our little guy. I hope/pray we follow God's lead as parents--that something we definitely don't want to mess up! Hope you are doing well and enjoying the brisk Carolina fall weather lately!
Dad V--We are excited to see you on Thursday to celebrate your big 70th! You look/act MUCH younger!:)
Amy, thanks so much for the pictures and I'm so happy you were able to make a quick trip to VA to see Dolly & the baby! I am SO excited to see Michael. He truly is ADORABLE and Dolly looks so content and so happy. God certainly has blessed her and no one deserves it more!
And let me also say that Samuel is just precious...he has some of the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. :) Hope he has a very happy b-day!!
How great to see all of you girls live out the dreams you shared with one another... you have so much to pass down to your children... so many wonderfully funl stories.
I have never been able to wait until the kids Birthday's to give them their gift. Dale always laughs because he knows it is torture for me to wait during the holidays to give them the things we bought in advance.
AMY, GREAT POST! Bad me for not paying a visit to ABM3 in awhile. Shame! Shame! I'm so glad you went to see Michael and I LOVE the pics. GOOD WORK, girl, GOOOOOD work!
Hi Christie! Congrats on your baby boy coming soon. You'll be an incredible mom! Thank you for Samuel's compliments--of course I could eat him up!
HPS--long time, no hear! Thanks for the visit. I need to mosey on down to the Scholle Shoutout and see what's buzzing!
Awww! I love baby Michael! He looks so sweet in that little hospital bed!
I just posted about one of RA's new toys and then I looked on your blog and saw that you did the same thing! Embarrassing! I promise I wasn't copying you:)
Ha..Donna I'm sure it's going to look like I'm copying YOU once you have your puppy party post and 2 weeks later I have the same party post! It's too fun to wait to give them their gifts!
Yippee for Dolly!!! He is such a doll! And Amy, you better up your cardio, b/c as soon as Samuel starts walking, you will need the stamina to keep up with him. I cannot believe it has almost been a year! BTW I did the same thing with Caleb this year. I just couldn't wait until his birthday to give him his tricycle, so he got it a few weeks early.=)
Kelli & Robin--good to know I'm not alone in not being able to wait. Godd to hear from you!
what a sweet post Amy! I was so happy looking at the pictures and remembering that special day a week ago now. It seriously meant so much to me that you drove all the way to Lynchburg to meet Michael in person. He already loves his Auntie Amy! I am in love all over again with this little guy and feel so overwhelmed and blessed all at the same time.
I can't believe Samuel is already almost a year!!! I remember the day he was born and I was stuck in a train and couldn't be there. I'm so glad you and Brian have him and he's got you two for parents. HOpe to make it to his bday but we'll see. ILY
Amy Neal, as I knew you-I miss you SOOOOO much!!!!!I cannot believe that it was 12 years ago that you were my youth intern at Roebuck Park Bapt.Where has the time gome??? I love and miss you and if Dolly remembers me-tell her i said congrats, and ask her if she would accept me.I need all the good Christian gals possible!!! I love you so much, and you will never know what an impact you had on my life!!!!~Bari Hickman
Amy, I am so sorry to write again, but I just wantto know if you will wrwite me on my e-mail-bariclaire@aol.com. I have gone through a lot-eating disorders, I lost my mom. It has been so hard, and you have ALWAYS been the greatest source of encouragement to me in my life and I need you!! Thank you for your love ahead of time!!!!~Bari
bari! i'm so glad you found us! it's great to hear from you.
are you on facebook? we are both on there. i don't check it that often, but amy is on there all the time. that's a great way to keep in touch with her. she's really quick. did you know amy was writing a devotional book? she's really shy about it, but yep...she's doing it. she has so much wisdom inside that pretty head. gosh, i love her.
Hi Bari! Yes, I'll write you. I'm so sorry about your mom. I can't even imagine. I'm sorry it's affected you to the point of an eating disorder. I'm sure you have had a lot to work through. Teecy and I would be happy to talk to you. I wish you lived closer so we could get together in person! Well, at least Teecy will be back in GA for Christmas. I don't know how far the drive is, but that would be awesome to meet up! I'll write you on your email account too.
