happy birthday mason!

i can't believe it's been TWO years since our world was blessed with mason! it's funny to think back to the "festivities" of september 4 & 5, 2008. last year, each moment was so vivid - all 19.5 hours of labor, the arguments with the nurses, every hour filled with its own part of the story. this year, i just seem to remember the sweet arrival of our little man. the look on his face as he looked around the bright operating room and the look on brad's as he showed me the first pictures he took while i was still strapped to the table.

my how far we've come in two years.

mason, we love you more than words can describe and treasure every moment as we watch you become the person God intended you to be. happy birthday sweet boy!
