FIFTEEN years ago today

Fifteen years ago today this tiny boy came into our lives. He was born 4 weeks early and weighed just a tiny 5lbs. 3oz. and was 18 and a half inches long. We had no idea that day just what a precious gift we had been blessed with. He was a very happy baby. Such a good little guy for a very young mom who was learning how to do everything. This picture is him at one year old. He only weighed 16 lbs and 13 oz! Still such a little guy!This is one of my favorite pictures of D. He is 2 and a half. What a handsome boy! :) In this picture he is six years old. So handsome and the best 6 year old I could ask for.
This is his third grade picture. He was 8.
I won't embarass him with any more pictures from the past. :) We are SO SO SO grateful to have been given this great kid. I will never be able to put into words how fantastic he really is. At 15 he attends church every week because he wants to not because I make him, he takes his preisthood very seriously, he goes to early morning seminary at 5:30 every morning, again because he wants to not because I make him. He is kind, compassionate, obidient, a loyal friend, a good big brother, and one of the best sons around. We could not ask for a better 15 year old! :)


Happy Birthday D! We love you!!!
