Where did the time go?? Can you believe that the little man that made us parents has hit this milestone? I cant... That means that in 10 years, we will be teaching him how to drive, and then college... family... oh dear, I know that I am getting way ahead of myself, but I just cant believe that he's 5. I remember the day that Blake was born down to every little single detail. I remember that the hospital gown that I was wearing was light blue with green and pink triangles on it. I remember the smell of the hospital room, and I remember that my toes were a fresh shade of red... painted the day before. I remember the heartache of having him taken away and not being able to hold him and I remember how tough he looked despite everything that they told us was wrong. I remember thinking that he looked like a little linebacker... especially because he was almost 10lbs!!
The past 5 years have taken us on so many journeys... we have grown as a family and we have been blessed with a growing boy that has so much love to share. Blake has a tender heart and a general concern for all... he is a giver and a helper. His love for people is going to take him far... he was kept on this earth for a very special reason, and his mark on this world is going to be extraordinary!
