Happy Birthday to the best husband and Daddy ever! Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his 21st birthday. We have come very far from where we started 13 years ago. When we first met being married was the farthest thing from our minds. We were just friends who became best friends.... now I can't picture my life without him. We have been through so much over the years. I think if we made it through miscarriages, 4 years of infertility, 17 weeks of bedrest, the premature birth of Camden (now I laugh at that), 2 more years of infertility, overstimulation (me in severe pain for 14 weeks), thinking Ailyn had Trisomy 2, bedrest for 28 full weeks, the birth of Ailyn at 28 weeks, 75 days in the NICU.......(breathe....just breathe) we can make it through ANYTHING!!!!! 
I feel so blessed to be able to stay home with my babies. Our Daddy works very hard (sometimes too hard) to make sure that we live a comfortable life. I know I don't tell him enough how much appreciate him.
He is the best Daddy. When I was in the hospital pregnant with Ailyn for 2 weeks, he had to take care of Camden on his own. He would get him up, drive him to school, rush to work, rush back to pick him up, come visit me, cook, clean and take care of his business. Even though Camden would show up to the hospital with crazy clothes, no socks in 30 degree weather, Camden was always happy. When Ailyn was in the NICU, he would go there before work, and then again in the afternoon. He wanted to be with Ailyn as much as he could. He changed her diapers, did her cares and sat and rocked her. And, he was still there for Camden. It made my life so much easier, I knew that we had each other.
We will be married 9 years in May....WOW 9 years!
(this was Ailyn's first taste of cake, first textured food. It wasn't planned for her to have a taste. She leaned over the cake while I had my back turned and you can see where it went from there. She is almost one, it's ok, right?)
I asked Camden what he wanted to say about Daddy."He plays Star Wars with me"
"He plays Legos with me"
"we play outside"
"he makes me chocolate milk and oatmeal every morning"
"he comes home everyday to see me, then he goes back to work"
Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you very much. Hope you enjoyed your cake and presents.OXOXOXOXOXOXAnd, yes Camden wrapped Froggy up for Aaron. He took him back minutes later ;)
