Happy Birthday Dylan!!!

It's hard to believe that 14 years ago today, Colby and I welcomed our first child into the world. What a day! You can't explain what it is to hold your child for the first time to someone who hasn't done it. There are no words to describe the extreme wave of love that washes over you, the abundant gratitude for the gift God has just blessed you with, the strong instinct to protect this new little life you've been given to watch over & care for. That all became clear to Colby and I at 1:11pm on Tuesday, March 19, 1996 when Dylan Jason Logan was born. 8 lbs, 4.5 oz, and 21" long....he was perfect in every way. A precious gift from God!

And now here we are, 14 years later! Wow! What a long, wonderful (yet sometimes rocky) road this has been! Dylan has become such a smart, loving, and capable young man. I'm excited to see what his future holds, and look forward to all of the wonderful times to come.



We celebrated Dylan's birthday today by going to the movies for the opening day of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". Dylan has the whole series of books, and they have been his favorite for many years. Then we did some birthday shopping, and went to lunch together at Mauricios. It's tradition to eat there on his birthday. We've done it for years! Shelby made Dylan a great "Happy Birthday" banner, to surprise him this morning when he woke up. That was sweet of her! They don't always get along the best, but when it comes down to it, she loves her brother, and she can't hide it! :)

Tonight we're going to pop popcorn and get cozy on the couch to watch Dylan's new favorite TV show, Who Do You Think You Are? It's a new show about researching family history. Right up his alley!

Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy Dylan!!! You are so loved!!!
