This baby boy was born! He came into the world a couple days early because the doctors were concerned he wasn't growing. Weighing in at 5lbs and perfect. And now he can eat 3 slices of pizza and still ask for more.
On 9-3-04 at 4:29 pm he entered our world and it is forever changed. He made us parents. He made us a family. He gave our life new meaning. He paved the way for his baby brother.
Today at 12:15pm he started pre-school. He never looked back. He has been so ready to go to school. As he should be as we have been talking about if for a year now. He was all business - standing there in his new green backpack, his cool new shoes waiting for the door open. And when it did - he lined up and ran in. Just like that. So thankful for all the new things he will get to experience, kinda sad that I can't be there to experience it too, but that's okay. This is how it works. But it's still a little bittersweet.
Happy Birthday to you,
