BRAYDEN

Tomorrow my little boy turns eight! I will officially have two children at the age of accountability. Let me just take a deep breath here.....wow. Where has the time gone? Everyone told me it would go by fast, they weren't kidding. I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Brayden. Ally was a mere five months old! I was shocked and scared, but I knew very clearly that a little boy needed to come to the Earth and that he would be special. He was born Sunday, September 24, 2000 at around 5:00 pm. His labor and birth were a forshadow of his personality: extremely laid back and especially easy. The doctor didn't have his gloves on yet when he slid right out on his own. It was an instant love and he was an instant mama's boy. We had so much fun with our two little babies 13 months and 3 weeks apart! We made quite the scene wherever we went, everyone thought they were twins and commented on our 'busyness.' Yes, our hands were full, but so were our hearts. Brayden is definitely going places! His mind works overtime trying to figure things out. He loves to take apart and rebuild things. He loves changing batteries and lightbulbs, and if we ever lose something, we ask Brayden first 'cause he usually knows where it is! You can find him pouring over his lego magazine, bug encyclopedia, or science experiment books--when he isn't conquering the wii. Ask him any Star Wars fact, and he will tell you, but be prepared to hear everything you ever wanted to know!
Brayden we are so happy you are in our family! We love you so much and are so proud of the choices you've made in your life. You are special and a beloved Child of God. Thanks for being our "Little Chief"!!
