On this day five years ago my I met my precious son Alex. He arrived on a Friday afternoon weighing 8 lbs. and 6 oz. The first thing I noticed about him was the little "dimple" in his chin like Jeff has. As the doctor told me I had a boy I was crying and saying "my baby boy" over and over.
At eighteen weeks when the doctor looked at the ultrasound and told us we were having a healthy baby boy I was shocked. After having two darling girls I was ready to just continue along that venue. It took me a good month of processing it to "come around" to a BOY. Am I ever glad that God saw it right to bless us with Alex!
He is happy almost all of the time, he loves to entertain us with silly things he makes up or games he plays, he makes GOOD use of his imagination, is well-behaved (when neccessary, i.e. Mommy's doctor appointments...), freely gives hugs and kisses, asks insightful questions (most recently about what the "new heaven and new earth" God provides us will be like), and is a wonderful part of our family.
He blesses me everyday with his love; and I can't adequately express in written word the depth of my love for him. With that said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!!
