Happy Birthday, Mark

Nine years ago at 7:17am, my first born decided to make his appearance in the world.  It was a fairly long labor, lasting about 24 hours, but Mark made it safely, with some hiccups along the way.  I am glad he is here.  There are times when we fight like cats and dogs, but I know he loves me as he has to get a hug and kiss every night before he goes to bed.  So, here's to you Mark!


Mark's baptism.  He was one week old exactly.


 Mark at three.


 Mark's first day of First Grade


 Mark's first 5K.  He beat me by 6 minutes.



  1. Mark 6 weeks ago.
