God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

Happy 5th Birthday Liam!

Liam,
You are an incredible boy!  You are smart, inquisitive, sensitive, kind, and creative.  You love life.  You treat every day like an adventure.  Right now, you are still interested in NASA missions, specifically rockets and space shuttles.  You know a great deal about planets, specifically Mars (your favorite planet).  Your favorite color is green.  You also love to learn about weather and know how tornadoes and tsunamis are started.  You love to look out for your sister, Lilly, and love to teach her new things.  You are affectionate and love to give Mom hugs and kisses.  You love to play games, like board games, and Dad is a great play-mate for you.  Your brain is always working.  You solve problems in your head and are constantly thinking how things work.  We call you our little engineer.  You love to build with Legos and prefer to make your own inventions/creations.  You have a huge vocabulary and talk most of the time you're awake (and even sometimes in your sleep). 
Liam we tell you all the time how thankful we are that God gave us you.  We prayed for a son and God knew you were the perfect fit for us.  You exceed all our expectations.  The last five years have gone so fast, but we've truly enjoyed every minute being your parents.  We are so proud of the boy you are and the person you will become.  God has great plans for your life and we are so excited to see what those things are.  Maybe, you'll be an astronaut, firefighter, and inventor like you always talk about being.  Whatever God calls you to do we know that you will move mountains.  The best thing about you Liam is your faith.  You have the Holy Spirit in your heart and it is evident by the questions you ask, the songs you sing, and the statements you make.  We see Jesus through you!
Love,
Mom & Dad

Here are some great memories from the last 5 years...

The moment we met you.  You fit perfectly in our arms and in our hearts.




Your Gotcha Day - the day you legally became our son forever.
