Eighteen years ago today, I gave birth to Bryce Carlson Hallmark.
Actually, he was Hunter Carlson first.....but he really didn't look like "Hunter"...
.....so we changed it.
This was his first (and only) birthday cake with ONE candle on it.....which he did blow out, with the help of his brother, Forrest (age 3 1/2)
This was Brycie's first taste of birthday cake - he really liked it!
moments after birth
(I looked pretty good!)
it was just one and 1/2 hours of labor (!!!!!)
11 months old
climbing under "the table" at Nora's
(all three boys climbed under that table...)
This was Brycie's first taste of birthday cake - he really liked it! He also made a HUGE mess - on the table and on his face!
Guess that is what first birthdays are supposed to be.
Looking through the photos this morning wasn't so easy, though they did make me smile a LOT! It has gone so quickly
....and now Grayson is 16, as of three days ago.
And Brycie would be 18 (!!!) and Forrest - 21!
Hard to believe it all.....
Jone,
ReplyDeleteI did not know this about you, your terrible loss. I am so sorry. I don't know how people survive things like this, but here you are. Thank you for sharing about your boys.
