Happy Birthday Smith

 

Happy 5th Birthday to Smith!

He's been such a gift to our family since the day we found out he was coming. Logan prayed for a baby brother from the time he was 2 years old and then FINALLY he got his baby brother! Smith came into this world at a record pace, only making it to the hospital 20 minutes before his arrival. A moment I will never ever forget. He's had me wrapped around his finger ever since. The bond Smith and I share is so different than my bonds with my other kids. While I can tell you my relationships with all 6 kids are uniquely special, there's something about my Smith. Everyone jokes that he's my favorite, but I don't pick favorites. When Smith was 3 months old the world shut down as Covid hit. I got to spend so much time with him without having to rush my other kids around. Smith taught me how strong I am. Between my unmedicated labor and delivery to juggling a new baby and all that comes with a global pandemic and 4 more kids. It was a wild scary time and most days I didn't know how I would do it, but I did. And I had my sweet baby with me every step of the way. So, while Covid sucked, I will forever look back on those days with a smile. Smith made those days more bearable and even special. God knew we needed him when we had him, He always knows. 

Smith, I love you too much!! These past 5 years have flown by in a flash. You have made every day happier and brighter. You have my whole heart forever and ever bubby! It's so perfect your birthday falls so close to Thanksgiving because we are all so. thankful. for. you. 

Happy 5th Birthday, sweet boy! xoxo
