Brady Boy turns 5!!!

Braden Christopher was born on Feb. 5th, 2005 on Super Bowl weekend!!! Brady has blessed our lives so much. It is hard to know what being a parent will be like until you experience it for yourself, and although there are many trials, there are also many joys. I have at times felt inadequate as a mother and exasperated at my child, but whenever I take a step back and watch my son I feel nothing but true happiness as I have been blessed with stewardship over his little soul.

Right from the beginning Brady was precocious and alert to the world around him. From birth he always liked to have his head held up so he could look at everything surrounding him. He had no choice but to become a Red Sox fan as he has a die hard sports fanatic father and Yankee blood in his veins!

From a young age he knew that he was a very cool dude!

Having a child lets you see life in a whole new way; everything becomes magical and inspiring. A pile of leaves is a child's playground and a forest is a magical fairy land. Brady's imaginative personality has enlivened the world for me as I see his excitement and the sparkle in his eye when we are playing make-believe.
