Oh how I love my soldier......

words can't even describe how much I miss this man right now! i feel a bit like a scrooge this holiday season, usually I'm excited to pull out my decorations, i'm usually shopping like crazy, and getting everything just right, but this year, I just don't feel like doing any of it....but despite me not wanting too, I know I need too, I need to make things as normal as possible for Daniel and Brielle, and with Daniel having surgery 5 days before Christmas, I need to make sure I make things extra special for them. so I'm putting my buh humbug feelings to the side, so here we go, time to get going on my shopping and get in the Christmas spirit, and start doing the things that I usually love doing this time of year.

Happy Birthday Daniel

I can't believe it....my baby little boy is 5 years old!! When did that happen?!?!? We had a wonderful time celebrating! We had a birthday party for him the Saturday before his birthday and he got spoiled rotten, and he deserved all of it! Then November 23rd came and he finally turned 5 (tear) I just can't believe he's not my baby anymore! He has turned into an amazing little boy, not that he hasn't always been amazing, but he just gets happier by the day and I just love him that much more everyday! He can brighten anyones day and has a smile that just melts your heart! Honestly....look at him! He has come such a long way in the last 5 years and has gone through more than most of us go through in a lifetime! He continues to prove to us that despite his disability he is not going to let that hold him back. The only thing missing from the day was Daddy! Happy Birthday Daniel we love you and are SO proud of you!!!

LOVE THESE TWO!
