I met the love of my life...19 years ago today in the hospital! It was a long, hot, exhausting, sick and painful day. Yet, it was the best day of my life! It was a very special day in my life that I will never forget.
On this day, 19 years ago William Andrew Lavinder was born. He weighed 9lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. He was born at 9:18pm. I had to have a C-Section after 27 long hours of labor. My mom was the person that went into the room with me. So, that day holds many special memories. I will forever be grateful that it was my mom who went into the delivery room with me. I will always be grateful that I had the pleasure of sharing the biggest and best event of my life with my mom.
When Andrew was born he came out crying "mommmmmyyy"! No one believes me but, it is true. He was three weeks late and did not want to come out. I still tease him and tell him that if they didn't induce my labor and do a c-section that he would STILL be in my belly. Even though he is a good 7 inches taller than I am today! He just shakes his head and thinks that I am crazy.
It has been 19 years of adventure with Andrew. And that is putting it mildly. He has the ability to invoke ALL the emotions that a person could have...all at the same time! But, no matter what I will always know that he is the best thing that has ever happened in my life. Even with all the ups and downs, I will always love him with all of my heart. I hope that he always knows that.
Happy Birthday Andrew! This is your last year as a teenager!!!

Andrew with my mom. He was about 1 week old in this picture.
I think it is safe to say that everyone had a good time.
This was a lot of fun using all the different colors. I also used chalk for the first time...the blue dots around the pictures. I know, not much chalk this time. But, I wanted to start small. Now I am ready to try something a little bigger. I will share more when I get something done!
