Happy Birthday, Ethan!

Today is a special day for our family.  Nine years ago, on a snowy Christmas Eve morning, Ethan came into our lives.  This time of year has always held a special kind of excitement for us...I'm sure all of you winter babies can relate.   The feeling is palpable by December first and only builds throughout the month.  Right now we are riding the wave forward until tomorrow, when it will finally break and roll back.

Ethan has blessed us with so much.  It has been good to watch him grow with such a sweet sense wonder and a great little sense of humor.

Ethan has always been a happy and thoughtful child.  His big heart holds an infinite amount of love. 

I am looking forward to seeing Ethan's unique personality grow even more in the next year.  I can't believe the time has gone so fast, but I am proud of the little man that the time has shaped.

Mom loves you, Ethan.  Happy Birthday.
