Double digits

My first born child is ten today. Ten. How is that possible?

Here you are at 3 months and two days old. You were the most beautiful baby in the world. I know this because Great-Grandma-The-Black-House told me so. ;-)

And so the journey began
It was you who made me a mother
You shifted my focus from me to you
I can't imagine a single moment without you
Oh, Joey, I love you so much more than you'll ever know


I know the days of dancing with me are numbered. I'm cherishing every moment we share because I know the next ten years will pass just as quickly as the last. I'm so proud of the man you are becoming. I love you, buddy!

Happy 10th birthday, my little Patriot


I almost forgive you for the 28 hours of labor you put me through ;)
