the end

a.k.a 

number 4

‘the end’ abel

on the same day that my first baby turned 8 my last baby hit his 10 month birthday as well.  yes they were both born on the 23rd of ‘their’ month.  isn’t that neat.  i think so.  and i’m not the only one.  grayson likes to point out all the cool ways he and granger are connected (beside being brothers of course).

they both have “g” names

they share the same middle name

they were both born on the 23rd 

both deliveries came on unplanned days

the list goes on and on....

i am so very thankful for my baby boy.  granger you are an amazing completion to our family.  you laugh all.the.time!  and it’s no surprise that your big brother is the one that can make you giggle like no one else.  you adore him.  i’m not sure of your exact stats right now. you go for your check up in a week but you are a tiny little peanut.  so stinkin’ cute in every single way.  happy 10 months ‘heavy weight’. ha!

give or take a leap year

it’s been 2,920 days since i became a momma.  all thanks to thins little guy.

my world and heart was changed forever the day thing 1 entered our world one month early.  so unexpected and unprepared (not one thing packed).  

you were (and still are) my guinea pig.  you are the beginning of our family, and the start to our learning curve.  you have put up with a lot of my ‘learning’ over the years and have continued to always be the first to forgive me when i need it most.  you are my biggest cheerleader and always in my corner.  

i love how you are always smiling and telling jokes.

you are an incredible big brother!

the best race car driver EVER!

i love the great example you set for your younger siblings.

i have loved every second since you came into my world son.  i am the luckiest mom in the world to have you as mine.  you are so kind and caring towards others.  putting them first almost always. you are my best encouragement on the days i seem to need it the most.  you are growing into such a man right before my eyes.  each day you pull away from me a little more and grow towards your daddy which i know is only growing you more into the fine young man you are become.  you love God with all your heart and are trying constantly to live by His word.  you are amazing!  i love you to infinity and beyond grayson.  you are my first born and my heart.  happy EIGHTH birthday stinky!
