Happy Birthday Blue!!!

What do you get when you put two newlywed 20 year olds in their first apartment away from their parents with lots of friends over the legal drinking age?

A baby boy!!!!

7 years ago you made us into a family at 6:05am. It was a hot Sabbath day and I had a wedding and a birthday party to attend and a babyshower scheduled for you the next day (because everyone knows first babies are usually late, you were two weeks early). Instead I just stayed in the air conditioned hospital and stared into your sweet baby face. You had LOTS of dark hair and were well worth the effort I put in to get you here.

We may not have planned you, but you were in God's plan and I thank him every day for you. You made me a mom. You taught me selflessness. You have made me laugh and kept our little family together during the rough times.You are a caring big brother (when you feel like it) and a wonderful helper.

At 7 years old Blue LOVES chess and numbers. He's one of those kids who just knows the answer to math problems without having to figure it out. He loves drawing, jokes and puzzles. He would spend all day on the computer if I would let him.

Happy Birthday Blue!! Love ya little man.

I was there when you got here! It was a very LONG night. I think that was the night your mom became one of my best friends in the world, too. Happy birthday, my much loved little guy!

That was a long night! Hehe silly me, I thought the hard part was over at that point. Little did I know it was just beginning.

Isn't it crazy to think that far back and see how much they've grown, how much we've grown?!
