Reflection on 5 years

Five years ago was a busy time for us. We had just moved into our new house, adopted a new dog and were on the brink of the most life-changing event one can experience: parenthood. I remeber those early days (which were a complete daze) and wondering why people kept telling me that it goes by really fast? The days and nights were long and hard, yet it really was a magical time. I learned so much about myself, my spouse and my newborn baby during that time - it is so hard to believe that that little newborn is about to be five years old! For some reason all of the prior birthdays came and went with not much thought to how big my boy was becoming, but five just seems so big! What will I do when he is turning 10, 15... 20!? Happy early birthday to my favorite boy! I love you!
