Today my boy turns 5. It seems unreal that this day is really here. I look at the big boy he is now and it's hard to remember that tiny blue baby he used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still remember everything about all of it but God's grace has allowed me to only think on those things occasionally. I have asked why countless times and it really doesn't matter anymore. Maybe I'll find out and maybe not. Or maybe why is simply for God to show His faithfulness to me and my children. I know that I will never stop praising Him for it and my prayer is that Damon will grow up to do the same; to tell everyone of his special half-hearted life and how God was faithful.

Damon you bring a smile to everyone's face. You make us laugh and bring joy (and frustration) to our lives everyday. God has given you a very special heart in so many ways and I'm thankful to be a part of your life. The peanut, Myles, Zach and I love you so much! We are so excited to watch you continue to grow and learn this year and for many more to come. Happy Birthday buddy!!!
