HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY

Today is the day! We are at a milestone birthday!!! Brodie is 5 years old today!!! He has had such a wonderful day! He went to school, had McDonald's Day and then a Birthday Party!!! It was GREAT!!!

It is hard to believe 5 years ago we were sitting at Baptist Medical Center awaiting a 1 pound baby! My how God can pull you through. With every birthday comes memories of that time but I think especially the first birthday and this one! It truly has been a day of praise to God today simply for many reasons: most of all that he gave us Brodie it has been a journey and I am sure that want change, but also for the fact Brodie blew out 2 of his 5 candles today, Brodie sat at a table surrounded by friends and ate his cake with his own fork by himself, He really tried to open his gift and he knew it was "Elmo", he knew he was 5 and can tell you, and he actually colored a scarecrow!

Today has been a great day for ALL of us and we are so thankful and blessed to be called parents to this little boy! God truly is showing all of us what miracles really are and that they still exist!

Brodie donated all of his gifts to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital! We had a great time at his birthday party at school and at home! Of course it was a golf party! He did however get a few gifts to keep for himself like a jumping thing from mom and dad, golf cart from MeMe's to stay at MeMe's, golf clubs from Nana and Papa, and a savings bond from Granna and Papa! Thanks so much to everyone who donated a gift to the Children's Hospital on my behalf!!! We have a video of all of my birthday celebrations!
