While I can't stop laughing at this photo I also can't help but think of this caption: "Girl, your whole world might be upside down right now, but you are loved more then you'll ever know."

Hey Baby! -- That's what I say to you all the time.  Last night when you on your way to bed you gave me a hug and said, "night baby"... Your words are such gifts to me.  This fall will mark two years of speech therapy.  You have come so far. I love the way you are beginning to play with words as you find new combinations to try out on us. My favorite thing about you is that when you smile your whole face lights up.  You truly are my Happy One. This past year you have grown up so much.  Physically you are a giant. My guess is that you will be the biggest brother when you reach adulthood. It has been a long time since we've had any feeding issues.  The only thing you have left to learn is that if your in the middle of chewing something and you see something better you can swallow what you are chewing, you do not have to spit it out to get the next thing.

In your chill Man of the Woods way you rolled with it and even conquered. You could have used this move to allow yourself to become bitter and resentful, but you didn’t. Instead you talked with us and listened. You saw that this was hard on all of us, you showed compassion and helped build us up as a family, understanding we were in this together.  You kept working towards your scouting goals despite the fact that we still haven’t found a troop here....

When we were first married we vowed to continue dating at least weekly, no matter what. We were in love, and it was easy... until we became parents! If it seemed difficult when our boys were young, we found the real challenge came when our oldest started school. Trying to get a date in after work and school, while also making sure our boys got supper and enough sleep, to say nothing of trying not to break the bank on a sitter and a date proved almost impossible. However, going without a date eventually led to us bickering with each other until someone would finally ask, “When was our last date?” Once, after a frustrating evening, we tried to remember what we enjoyed doing together before we became parents... and could we still do it now? Immediately we had our answer: board games. It’s how we passed time during our engagement, honeymoon, vacations, and pregnancies. At one point we even kept a game in the car for unexpected waiting. We agreed that if we couldn’t go out we could at least...
