Brother turns 5

So almost exactly 5 years ago today this little boy entered the breathe on your own world. He was fairly big! 8 pounds 10 oz in fact. I thought for awhile that he wasn't going to come out. He just hung out in there very stubbornly refusing to even move around. But alas at 6:42 the boy came out. We did not know that he was to be a boy until his arrival. I think this was a bigger deal for Christi than I . I really didn't care the sex. I just wanted whatever it was to be healthy. So he has made it all the way to the little Legos and as I type this he is sitting on the floor next to me building a Coast Guard helicopter. I am constantly amazed, proud and inspired by him and I can only hope he maybe feels one of those for me every once in awhile.
