Almost nine years ago...

Oh my sweet Dakota. You made us parents, and it has been non stop ever since! Born 4 mins. before midnight on Aug. 9th, Me looking like a total mess from 17 hours of labor.
We finally got released on Aug. 13th only to have to seek shelter from the hurricane bearing down on little Ft. Myers, Fl. We hid out at my parents since it was so far inland, and rode out the storm with our 4 day old in tow. It was the most hectic first week of parenthood.
 
That was almost 9 years ago now, my love. We are so very blessed that you are our son Kota. Mom and Dad are so proud of you everyday, always!

First off, you look adorable. Reminds me of high-school, and secondly, holy 9 years!
My first was 17 hours also. How funny!
