4 years ago...


We were about to welcome this little man into our world. Mama was on bedrest trying to hold him in. If we only knew then how our lives would change when our 4 pound, 9 ounce little buddy was born.  We certainly could have never imagined the immense joy that he would bring to us, or that our hearts would burst and expand with love and pride for our Lennox, more and more every day. That today we would love him more than we did a week ago and that next week we will love him more than today. That from then on every success or achievement would mean nothing if he wasn't happy. We never realized really how little sleep we would have from that point on, how many times we would bribe him with a piece of candy just to do something simple, or how many trips to Disney we would take with him. It is impossible to realize how your world will change before the day your child is born. So many days I miss my baby Lennox who used to constantly kick, kick, kick and eat his burpie rag and spin around in his exersaucer. But here he is almost 4, so grown up, so funny, so cool, so smart, and so his own little man. The coolest little dude I have or will ever know, telling me jokes about sweet potatoes, asking for robot arms for his birthday, and telling me over and over "Mama, I your best friend."  Thank you again baby Lennox for choosing us to share your growing up adventure with you.
