It seems like only yesterday that I was standing in my kitchen at Maxwell Air Force Base washing up the paci’s that I’d be taking with me to the hospital the next morning. I had to be at the hospital by 6:00am to start the induction process…how could my sweet baby be 6 already?
It has been a long road f0r us these past 6 years, but you have blessed us more than I can express…frustrated us too, but Eli, you’ve taught us more than we ever thought possible. We love you and your brother more than anything, and are so blessed to have you as our son. Happy birthday sweet boy…
Here are a few pictures…okay, maybe more than a few, but these are some of the moments along the way…
