Ainsley is 5!!

Ainsley you are 5 years old today!! You have been waiting for this day for a long time. I remember many conversations with you talking about how you will be able to do this or that when you are five. And now you are!!
Ainsley you came into this world as a very sick little baby. And you often ask mommy and daddy to tell you about when you were sick and you like to look at pictures of yourself when you were in the hospital. You feel very special that so many people helped to take care of you. And you were special indeed. Mommy and Daddy are so thankful that God was watching over you and we were able to bring you home!

This was the first time I saw you.

Getting your footprints!

Mommy holding you for the first time-I had to wait 11 days before I could hold you!

Daddy holding you for the first time.

This was the day you finally came home from the hospital after 5 long weeks. I'll never forget that day Ainsley.
