Happy (belated) Birthday, Connor!!

It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed since you came into our lives.  We have watched you grow from a tiny 5lb 9oz baby to a strapping young man in what seems like the blink of an eye!

You entered our lives, 3 weeks early, on December 13th at 5:38pm.  Ironically, you chose to make your appearance in the same manner that you react to life, today - quick, impatience, eager to get at things.  The intense pain from back labour was quickly forgotten when they placed you in my arms.

All red and squirmy, our hearts melted on sight and were lost forever.

In this photo, you were a day old, but still so red, with that dark black hair.  We were so busy video taping that we didn't get any photos of you, fresh out of the oven, so to speak.  I blame this on the fact that I didn't start scrapbooking for another five weeks! ;)

Hard to believe what a difference 10 years can make:
