3 on the 3rd...


Well today is ORION's birthday!!! I got up extra early just to see his little face as soon as got up out of bed (he usually comes in and wake us up)! This is the first birthday he has been really excited about... he can't stop telling me about what he wants for his cake and 4 gifts...precious! (he will get more than 4 I am sure!) I can't even imagine that 3 years ago today he was getting ready to come into this world, in a pretty bumpy way, BUT we are just thankful he is here today and we pray GOD gives him MANY many more birthdays with us and on and on...
We are truly so thankful for our family and friends that were by our side when he was born and for the weeks that followed, for the amazing team of doctors and nurses that worked with him once he was at Duke and for their technology, and for GOD who saw July 3, 2007 as an opportunity to make us totally dependent on him for a miracle and then GIVING us one wrapped up in our little Orion and his precious life!
We are eternally grateful for everything and will never forget how hard so many people worked and prayed to get us to this beautiful place!!
