Today, our oldest son, Brendan turns 13! We now have a teenager in the house!!
He was born on December 13th, 1997 after 22 hours of labor. Things weren't going too well, and when Brendan's vital signs started to dip, they took me into the O.R. for a C-section. He came out a beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed boy, and hasn't stopped - being a beautiful boy, that is (he also hasn't stopped growing [5'8" so far], eating or talking about insects, dinosaurs, general science or video games!).
It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital, all 6 pounds, 14 ounces of him!
Over the years, he has grown into a young man who loves his parents, loves his brothers, and most importantly, loves his Lord.
When I think about this milestone, I am reminded again of how blessed we are! We couldn't have asked for four more wonderful young men, and we continue to wait patiently (sort of) for our dear 5th son to join us!
Happy Birthday, our dear prince* !!
Mom & Dad
*The name Brendan means "prince".
