I would *almost* say that my life actually started 5 years ago. To be fair, there was somewhat of a life before Ethan. High school, college, blah blah blah. Nothing really stands out in my mind at the moment.
Before I had children, my Family was defined by my parents, my sister, my brother. Even when I got married, I just felt that Greg was adding to that family. But then I had a child, and all of a sudden, I was a grown up with a family of my own. Yikes!
Its so hard to believe that this

5 years later became this

I should have known that this

Would turn into this

This sweet little baby
Has become this crazy kid!

I never knew how fast 5 years could be. I still remember when they first showed me that little slimy purple thing and told me that was my son. I haven't wanted to let go since. He is turning into this wonderful little boy with a big heart and just a glimmer of a dry sense of humor. He is still teetering right on the edge of being a baby and being a kid. From the tearful moments just last night when the DVR turned the channel away from Tinker Bell to record one of Daddy's shows, to the straightforward explanation to Daddy that the reason there were goldfish scattered all over the floorboard of his car was because some friggin moron pulled out in front of Mommy. He amazes me everyday! I can't wait for the next steps, my beautiful boy!
