Baxter Family: September 2008

The Baxter Family

Andrew and I met in April 1998 and quickly became the best of friends! After dating for 2 years we both served spanish speaking missions! We fell in love all over again once we were home and were married July 17, 2004. To our surprise, our son Mason was born 9 months later! Mason is a special little boy that has brought our family even closer. Mason was diagnosed with regressive autism at 18 months of age. (Visit http://gettingtoknowmason.blogspot.com/ to follow his progress). 2 1/2 years later we had our sweet little Riley. We have since moved to Oregon to help Mason with his needs. Despite the challenges we face; the unity we share and the love we feel keeps our family together and going strong!!

Brothers....friends!

We've been waiting for the day our boys would realize how much fun it is to interact with eachother. Mason has a hard time with social skills and poor little Riley has been following Mason around trying to get him to notice he is there! Today it finally happened! All it took was a good day for Mason and the silly little red tunnel! Finally these two boys have realized the joy of brotherhood!

Riley has just discovered how to pull himself up to his feet and get around holding onto things! He sure is growing up fast! Riley is a breath of fresh air! Riley has brought a new spirit of fun into our home, always laughing, always smiling, easy to please! We have been blessed with such an easy going child and such a beautiful little boy!
