Two years ago.

Merry Christmas to everyone.
Two years ago on this day, Jody and I sat on the couch watching movies and wondering what our other children were doing since they were spending this Christmas Eve with their other parent. All was quiet except for the sound of the movie when the door bell rang. When we opened the front door there wasn't a person there but an envelope from FedEx with our names on it. We weren't expecting anything, and being the goofy people we are we didn't think to look to see who it was from, so what a HUGE surprise it was to open it and see the first picture of our son. We set with tears in our eyes as we looked through our referral packet and oooohed and ahhhhed at our tiny, beautiful son. What a Christmas present we received that year and it just keeps on giving.
Our referral picture. At 4 days old he weighed
5 lbs and was 18 inches long. When we received
his referral package he was a day shy of being a
month old.
Here is our beautiful baby today. He is the
light of our lives and brings so much joy
to our family. Thanks for bringing so
much happiness and adventure into our
family sweet boy.

We hope everyone has a safe and

happy Christmas season.
