you're 4!

seanwillbirth017767.jpg

the gratitude, the inordinate joy, the beauty, the regrets, the fortitude, the humility, the forgiveness. I was sitting on my desk  thumbing through old photo albums and worrying about what to write for your 4th birthday when you both woke up from your afternoon nap and engaged in a  long argument about legs and blanket monopolization.

it was so beautiful I almost cried.

I love you.

Happy Birthday.

How much did they weigh at birth? They look beauitufl in the photo. Amazing how much they change in just a few short years isn't it?

Happy Birthday, boys!
