Oh, that's right, the inventor of the internetz is in divorce court. Did you hear about that? Al and Tipper are calling it quits after 40 freakin' years! I wonder if it's cuz of global warming...do you think it got too hot for em? Or maybe it was a cold front movin' in? Okay, I know, not fair. It's sad that after 40 years they are divorcing.
Besides, this post isn't about Al Gore.
This is about Big Boy! Today he turns 7!
Seven years ago today was the most painful/wonderful day of my life. If you wanna read the birth story that I wrote last year, click here.
It was the day that it stopped being about me.
The day that I realized that that love has to come from a part of ourselves that is absolutely connected to God.
And then He put that heart on my sleeve, where it was no longer hidden and protected inside of my body.
One of the 2 greatest gifts I have ever received was given to me at 11:26 p.m., June 2nd, 2003.
And it came in the form of a tiny, 4 lb. 15.9 oz. elven type angel.

Today
He's at the age where I can't get a real smile from him, it's all cheese. But I love cheese.
Happy Birthday my little Big Boy!

Happy Happy Birthday! It's amazing how time flies isn't it? Although I still swear my babies are just that, babies.
Geez! What a cutie!
Happy 7th Birthday!!!!! He was an itty-bitty baby. Love that 'cheese' smile too. We are at the stage where he shuts his eyes in every photo. Lovely.
You made it another year. Congrats to you as well. I hope Big Boy has a great birthday. It's amazing the gift that is given to us the day we become mothers.
Happy Birthday Big Boy! I loved that birth story. I wish I had a dramatic, my water broke kind of story but mine are much more boring. Maybe I'll tell this one if it's interesting.
My mom always used to say (and still does), "You can't be another year older. That means I'M another year older."
She still doesn't care for it, but I still sit on her lap from time to time to help her out.
I'm sure he'll find a way to do the same for you!
Haha I just went back and read your story. We must have delivered in the same hospital. I'm pretty sure I know who your Dr. was too. hehe
Beautiful post..."love comes from a part of us that is absolutely connected to God"....I love that. The most true thing Ive heard all week.
Happy Birthday Kolby! Congrats to momma too!!! 4 lbs? WOW.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!!!!!! (I hit enter too soon)
Happy Birthday to your wonderful son!
I hope that sweet-faced little guy had a wonderful birthday! This post gave me butterflies.
And I must address Al/Tipper...I keep seeing pictures of them sucking face in articles online about the divorce. It's really upsetting me. I shuddered. After 40 years, why freaking bother? HOW are they gonna split up the Internet? What about the LOCKBOX?
(I know about the lockbox from David Letterman. I haz a smrt.)
This was a sweet, beautiful post -- goes along with that beautiful boy you have! I know boys are supposed to be handsome, but I'm going to call him beautiful, and I hope that's okay. (Because he is!)
Man. I don't even have to go to E! Online or people.com anymore, I get all my pop culture info from blogs. I had not heard anything about Al and Tipper! That is sad!
Awesome :) He WAS tiny, wasn't he!!! Mine were all 7 lbs and up, and even then they are so small and fragile looking. And now I miss that - shut UP and stop posting baby pictures! This is the second one I've seen tonight! Jeez :)
Happy Birthday to your big cheese!
He's so adorable!
looks like he's gotta good momma!
Awww! I hope Big Boy had a great birthday. Enjoy it...7 for us has been really fun so far!
AWWWWWWW! This made me teary eyed...I think I'm over emotional today!
What a beautiful (in a boy way of course) BIG boy!
So cute. Happy Birthday to him! My have a nearly seven year old, and I understand the "all cheese" part. It's either that, or rotten meat... ;)
Happy Birthday!! And Al and Tipper are getting a divorce?? I need to get off the blogs and read some news.
How sweet is this! It flies by so fast. I just watched my kid have his first last day of school. Tears.
Awww what a cutie! Happy birthday!
I'm actually really bummed about Al Gore, I kinda liked him until now.
What a cutie. I hope he had a great day.
Happy BDay! I love those goofy smiles!!!!!
I remember the "cheese" smile :) Today, my kids are quite used to me taking their photos, so it's fun. My son even let me post a photo of him with hickies this week!haha
Happy 7th Birthday to you both :)
aww happy birthday to both of you! i can't even imagine how fast the time must go by!
