Happy Birthday, Baby!

6 years ago today was a big day for us. It brought the arrival of our son, William John. Although he came with a surprise nearly a month before his due date, he came to us perfectly healthy, hearty and handsome.
Wow, I can hardly remember 6 years back.
Sometimes it seems as though time stands still and the future will never come soon enough-
and then there are children-and you'd hold time still if you could, just to hold them a little bit closer, a little bit tighter, and a little bit longer.
But that's not how it goes and before you have a chance to really let it sink in, they've grown wings....

Here's our birthday guy today, cute as ever and patiently awaiting his birthday celebration this evening. I asked him if he felt any different today. He said, "Nah."
