Eight is Great!

My little Brady Bear is turning eight in just a few weeks. It seems like yesterday that I was sending him off to kindergarten and maybe a week ago that he was learning to walk and talk. I fell in love with him from the first moment I saw him. I was still lying on the OR table and Kam, after Braden was weighed and cleaned up, brought him over so I could finally lay eyes on him. His little face was perfect. He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. He looked at me and stuck out his tongue and I was hooked. He still holds my heart and will forever.

Braden is a serious kid who is wise beyond his years. He is so tender and shows love through service to others. He is a really good kid and is almost always quick to obey. One of my favorite things about Braden is that he shows excitement in the most beautiful way. I remember once while living in Pennsylvania my mom flew in on Braden's birthday as a surprise. We drove to the airport to pick her up and when Braden saw her he started to cry. He is the best big brother to his brother and sister and all around a total STUD!
