I can’t BELIEVE he’s 12 Already! August 30, 2007

12 years ago today J & I were sitting in a hospital room playing cards and waiting for something to happen…anything! 12 hours after my water broke and NOTHING! It was worth the wait, N arrived around 4:30 in the afternoon and it has been “pure joy” ever since (except for that time when…. )

OK…..for real now, he was a pretty easy baby, and has grown up to be such a special guy. He is fun to have around, with his sense of humor, quick smile and adventurous spirit. He has a sensitive streak a mile wide and is good at making others feel comfortable. He is loyal to those he cares for, and would defend them to the death if necessary. He loves to make people laugh, and is always trying out a new joke.

He, and all the grand-kids are spending the day with my mom. Actually they all spent the night last night and will make a trip to our local zoo today. It should be a pretty fun way to start out the day.

Just wait until he gets to open his gifts…..He is going to be sOOOO excited! Now mom on the other hand is not so sure that some of the gifts were a great idea, but DAD was VERY determined to win this little disagreement. I’ll fill you in tomorrow on the details.

If you think about it, please say a little prayer for E & I today around 4. He is getting his Staple pulled out, and he has been green every time we have talked about it. I know it isn’t really that big of a deal, but he has such a weak stomach for this kind of thing.
