Our So-Called Life.

This Friday Cade starts Kindergarten, with an excellent teacher once again...I am hoping for a great year! I am creating this post to have Elizabeth Roof's excellent video tool at my fingertips for his team to view.

I can't believe we are celebrating your 5th birthday today. It seems like just yesterday I was awaiting your arrival. Boy, what a whirlwind it has been since then.  I have watched you go from a tiny, helpless newborn to a boy who already has his mind made up about just anything.

I think it was put together really nice!  RSV was such a tough, trying time in our lives and I am more than thankful to have Cade here and doing so well today!  Check us out!
