Feeling nostalgic tonight

I had forgotten that I made this video of Adam's first year of life. I haven't watched it in so long...watching it again made me cry. Big, fat, blubbery tears.*

Because when I made that video, it was because all of Adam's issues were "over." I was documenting his rough first year...and celebrating how well everything turned out.

Now I feel as though I need to add to this video - to document yet another thing my boy has to go through. I guess it just makes me realize just how AMAZING my son is. I had chosen the song for the video because it really expressed just how he came blazing into our lives and changed it all...for the better. Because no matter what he has to go through, I will take care of him forever. I made that promise before I ever realized what was to come.

He is such a blessing and I love him so much.

*I may have cried just a few of those tears because while watching that video, I realized JUST HOW MUCH I'VE AGED in 4 years. Adam had better get a good job when he's older, because he's paying for my Botox. :)

  1. I love the video Stephanie! Your kids are sooo cute...and my oh my!!! Did Adam get all the physically/medically challenging stuff? Joe sure did in our family...he also has a heart condition and he had surgery when he was one for a cyst that was over his eye! UGH...I'll sign up for the botox with you girl. Our boys have put us through the ringer! LOL

  3. That was a beautiful video! I had to run and get a tissue myself. God gives us our beautiful miracles, our children. I'm so thankful that he's kept your family safe even through enduring all of your storms in life.
