Stop This Train

The challenge is to find the words to express the incredible amount of love, joy and gratitude I have to my Heavenly Father for delivering to me this amazing little boy two years ago today. My Lord where has the time gone? Fewer and fewer of his features resemble a baby, as he is surely becoming a boy...though he is still little, I'm not really prepared to mother a boy. Someone press pause, my baby is growing up :/


Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!

While I organize my thoughts, gain control of my emotions, and edit some pics, you enjoy the amazing sounds and lyrics of Mr. John Mayer:

i love that song! especially because it feels like the older i get the faster time seems to fly by.....for example, i feel like it wasn't that long ago since you and jamie were here in morgantown and we were dealing with teen drama and angst together while catching up on "my super sweet 16" and "so notorious" in our spare time....but somehow you already have a 2 year old child....craziness! hoping to make it down to see your two beautiful babies (i am still calling him that even though he's 2) at the end of the summer/early fall if jamie can get some time off.....sending my love to the whole salamanca clan and give jadon a birthday hug from me!

And what joy he has brought to your family and anyone who comes in contact with him during his 2 short years. God blessed you and Jamie abundantly the day He chose you to be the parents of Jadon. And we know He makes no mistakes. He surely did not. Happy Birthday Jadon---we love you for all that you are and all that you will be.
