Happy BIRTHday!

We are at the beach- and I am probably trying to take a million pictures of my birthday boy Briggsie....

O my sweet Love Briggs~

Where has this year gone? I have had many more years of good then bad in my life and this year with you has been one of the BEST. Its hard to imagine not having you here in our family. We thought we were done yet God had far better plans for us... You have made my life fuller, sweeter, better and added to our family a sense of calm, laughter, and adventure as we get to enjoy each of the new things you are learning to do. You are our lil peanut and it just fits you well- u are pretty shy yet when in need, will let the WHOLE world hear you with your squeals:) baby boy I can't wait to see what the future holds for you- Im not ready to speed it up by any means- take your time... we will all be along the way:)

* I have a lot of post's of my Briggsie boy dont I??- not that I am not totally in love with all my babies and seeing them all grow ( too quickly!!) is SUCH a blessing. I do think however, I forgot about a few things till this little guy came to be. When you think you can not have any more yourself or do something to cause that, you truly dont realize that emptiness inside .

I thought I was fine being done and totally scared OUT of my MIND when we found out we were expecting number 5, but 2 CRAZY good things came out of this life's experience. ONE- I had to put all my faith in God and let Him guide me though Briggs pregnancy- He lead me to a WONDERFUL team of midwives to give me the most WONDERFUL birth I have ever had and truly believe that this is why Briggs is the person he is today- he came into a loving, peaceful room with people that LOVED him more than he will ever know. He brought me closer to my friends during the time of my pregnancy when I was really scared and nervous of what was to come. and TWO- He gave me a son that I didn't think I wanted yet couldn't imagine my life EVER being complete without him- I often wonder if this is how God felt about His son Jesus when He was born- a complete, whole, never ending love that has transformed how I talk, how I care, and how I love each of my 5 babies..... It really is amazing huh? How God works it all out in His timing and for me to follow- no matter what.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Briggs!!!! xoxox
