Four Beautiful Years...

Four years ago this month, on the 24th, I was given a very precious gift. Colin's arrival was anything but normal. That week (four years ago) holds some of my most scary, but precious memories. As I look back now, I can see how God worked in miraculous ways to spare myself and Colin from what could have been a tragic loss. (The purple hearts on the back wind shield were drawn on by my best friends just days before my wreck).
After being hit head on, and on the drivers side, I was careflited to Fort Worth where I had Colin two days later. I spent a week in ICU/Recovery and Colin stayed for two (LONG) weeks until his lungs were strong enough to functin on their own. 
A few hours old!
One week old!
Now as we approach the 24th I am amazed at how quickly time flies by. Four years ago I was wishing he would sleep a little more, eat a little less and get a bit bigger. Now I miss those days!! Funny how that happens;)
Last weekend we celebrated Colin's birthday with friends and family batman style! He had so much fun! Batman came and scared all the kids, he got TONS of gifts and had a blast with his friends! Blayne managed to mess my camera up for the majority of the party but we did get several good pictures before and after ;)

Colin does not like cake or ice cream so we went with Cookies!!

 Colin was a bit ticked that I let batman get this close... love that face!;)
HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY COLIN!!!!!!!!!!
