It Seems like Yesterday


It seems like yesterday that Jared and I found out that surprisingly our little family would go from 2 to 3.
It seems like yesterday I was watching my belly bounce up and down as he would roll around and kick.
It seems like yesterday that I was on the phone with Jared telling him that the baby was on his way.
It seems like yesterday that I held him in my arms and knew that his name was going to be Cade... even though I didn't want to admit that Jared had won his choice.
It seems like yesterday that I was scared to death to bring him home from the hospital because I had no idea what to do next.
It seems like yesterday that I gazed into his eyes and sang, "I am a child of God" over and over.
It seems like yesterday that Jared and I spent hours just looking at him. In complete awe that he was ours.
It seems like yesterday that I could wrap him up snugly and just rock him.
However, in reality... it was just yesterday that he turned 4.
Where does the time go?

I love you my sweet Cade. You have changed my life forever.
Thank you.
xoxo

Happy Birthday to Cade,it does seem just like yesterday when you came into my bedroom and said "grandma I think I am in labor". What a wonderful and exciting time it was.
