Dear Liam

Dear Liam,  11 ago (well technically 12 years ago) you came into our lives at 11:20 am. It was in that moment, that my life changed. You have taught me how to love deeper than I ever thought possible. You have brought me so much joy. You continue to brighten my days. I know we have our moments, especially when you have to write something long in school, but those moments are so small. You remind me to be creative. I love your artwork, stories and your lego designs . You've helped me learn patience. I am grateful for your honesty. I appreciate that you will tell me how you feel about things especially about how I am handling a situation in our home. You've helped me make great strides in communication and controling my mom temper. I appreciate so much your work ethic and your determination to work hard and succeed in your business. I love that it matters to you how your customers feel about your work. You remind me to do my best and give whatever comes my way, my all. You are an awesome big brother. I'm grateful that you aren't too big for mom hugs and good night kisses. I'm proud of your accomplishments and your ability to set a goal and accomplish it. I'm grateful for your testimony and faith. Liam I'm just plain old grateful for you. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter blessing than to have you join our family first. You are a leader and a friend to your brother and sisters and I love you. Happy Birthday little man!
Love, mom

 

 

           I'll have to head home to find some photos of you at 3, 2, 1, and birth.  You've grown up so much!  I love you buddy! Hope your day is FANTASTIC!

(Liam just reminded me via skype that he is officially out of hand counting stage.  He is older than he has fingers to count!  YIKES!  who said time could fly so fast!!!!
