Happy 8th Birthday, Colton

This day 8 years ago, I had just given birth to my youngest baby. My first contraction at 17 weeks, lots of bedrest, and so much support from family and friends, we carried him to 36 weeks. Born at 6lbs 3oz with red hair and refusing to follow the first rule of life... to breath. He is the same today as he was then - follows the beat to his own drum, says and does anything that comes to mind (good or bad), and makes his own rules. LOVE this kid!! Looking back at his pictures today has brought tears to my eyes. He was such a hard child to raise and still his sometimes, but his beautiful eyes and extravagant personality shine so much brighter than the trials. I can't wait to see the path God leads him on!
