Six years ago today, I was the most scared I’ve ever been in my entire life.

And my life completely changed.

For the way, way better.

Because today, six years ago, was the day that I became a mother to the most wonderful boy in the world!

The thing about Tom is this: Everything he does, comes from a place of kindness and love.

Even when he messes up, or makes someone sad — it’s never on purpose, and he always, always wants to make it better.

I just love that about him.

I love all the things about him.

He fills our world with happiness, and laughter.

He has a wonderful imagination, which fills me with such pride.

He loves his parents, sister, and entire family.

He loves his friends.

He loves playing outside.

He loves his Cody bear.

He loves his soft Christmas blanket.

He loves dinosaurs.

He loves the iPad.

He loves “play fights” with his Dad.

He loves to help his sister with everything.

He loves to collect neat leaves for his Mom.

He loves waking up really, really early.

He loves to go to the dinosaur museum.

He loves hugs.

He loves pizza.

He loves the beach.

He loves Godzilla.

He loves movies.

He loves to run.

He truly loves being with his family.

We are so lucky to have to this child.  And we are so thankful that we are his parents.

The past six years have been the best of my life, and I cannot wait to see how he grows and teaches us in the upcoming year.

We LOVE you so very much, Thomas James!!

Happy Birthday, sweet boy.

LOVE!
