Happy 10th!

Happy tenth birthday, #1! This was him seconds after we met. I remember the relief of that moment. Relief that he was perfect and relief that 29 hours of labor was over. There is certainly nothing like the birth of a first child. And this morning in all his bouncing excitment to be TEN and open presents he crawled in bed with us at 6:10 and tried to lay still and wait until a reasonable time to try waking me again. When this kid is happy, his joy permeates and fills the whole house.

Here he is with his BFF waiting for carrot cake last weekend:

And at 7am this a.m. SO excited about his new bindings:

And snowboarding jacket:

We figured since he's landing 540's now, he might as well have a real snowboarding outfit.

HAPPY TENTH BIRTHDAY, Baby Boy!
