Happy Birthday Conner

Seven years ago today at 9:12 p.m. Conner was brought into this world by a very special lady, his birth mother.  As adoptive parents it feels a bit strange because we have no memories of that day, no stories to tell about his coming into this world.  On May 15, 2012 at six years old Conner and his sister were adopted into our family and although our journey, and his, has not always been easy we are blessed to be a part of his life.

I always have said Conner is one of the bravest kids I know.  Starting over at four and a half years old isn't easy and he has met each new experience head on with a smile and giggle.  Conner adores his siblings and loves all of our extended and church family.

We plan to take Conner out on a mommy and daddy only date to the restaurant of his choice, KFC, which brings back good memories from the days he spent with his birth mom. This will give him some special time with just us to celebrate his day and share old and make new memories.  Cake and Ice Cream will follow with the rest of the family along with a special gift.  We love you Conner and hope today is special.  Happy Birthday!!!!
