7 months old

Yesterday was my birthday, and today Dylan turns 7-months old. Time goes by so fast and I love the personality that Dylan is developing. I love hearing stories about "what Dylan did today," and WOW can he go on and on "chattering." He always makes me laugh!

Dylan goes into the hospital on Sunday to get prepped for his next surgery which is taking place on Monday, May 10th. Sunday is also Mother's Day, and unfortunately, Shannon will be spending it in the hospital with Dylan. I know there will be many more Mother's Days to be celebrated in the years to come, but for now, I just wanted to wish Shannon a Happy Mother's Day. We are all so proud of you....these past few months I know have been challenging, but one day Dylan will grow to know how lucky he is to have you in his life!

The best thing

I can remember the day that Shannon told me that I was going to be an aunt. I was so excited and instantly started envisioning all of the things I wanted to teach my new niece or nephew. I couldn't wait...and now I can't believe how AWESOME it is to be an aunt.
Since Dylan was born in October, I cannot even count the amount of conversations we have had about how much joy he has brought to our family. Our family went from ordinary to extraordinary. I have been home more in the past 4 months than I think I have been in the 10 years since I have been living in Louisville. Visiting Dylan is always my last stop before hitting the road again, and it never fails-from the 8,000 songs I have on my iPod, when I am driving this song always comes on. "You are the best thing"...I don't think it could be more fitting. We are so proud of Shannon and Tony, and so in love with Dylan. He truly is the BEST thing...and I couldn't be more proud to be his aunt!
