One of the Two Best Days of My Life

Five years ago tonight, I gave birth to Ian and with that had one of the two best days of my life. For me, having my own child - or someone having one under their care for life - just changes everything and then some and while it was all more than good before, it was most definitely nowhere near the same and I, for one, am ever so grateful. It has been an amazing ride for us and I sure hope for Ian as well.

Happy 5th Birthday again, buddy! You started the ball really rolling for us once you were born and we love you more than life itself. :-)

P.S. Dylan's birth was obviously the other best day of my life because it just confirmed everything we had experienced with Ian and just cemented the whole thing (life) for me. These boys and my life are a dream! Lucky, lucky me!!

P.P.S. The party yesterday was awesome for the inquiring minds who wanted to know. More on that in a post later with pics and all that good stuff.
