April 18, 1997. Oh, the day that changed me. Changed us. Made us a family. Exceeded my wildest dreams.
The day Benjamin, Mason and Claire were born. (If you'd like to read about their story, click here!)

| Dad has Benjamin and Claire, I have Mason...this was Mother's Day 1997...they were almost a month old by the time we had our first family photo. |
I remember those early mornings -- no matter how exhausted I was when I entered their nursery, the smiles that greeted me made me instantly feel sorry for all the Mommies in the world who didn't have three little smiles greeting them. I felt so blessed. Beyond blessed.
 |
| Mason, Benjamin and sweet Claire. |
Even when doctors became worried about their development and we began physical and occupational therapy, I was hard-pressed to worry when I was with my crew. They lit up my life, they made me smile, they blessed my heart.

And they were so sweet. So stinkin' sweet.
 |
| Holding hands and communicating in their own little way...that's Benjamin in green, Claire in the middle and Mason in red. |
Time flies. I think we went from 4 to 15 in a blink of the eyes.
 |
| Happy, happy, happy place! (4th Birthday) |
 |
| Racing to the Mouse. |
But this I know. Their smiles still bless my days. Their love for each other brings me joy. Their love for God brings gratitude.
Happy 15th birthday, Benjamin, Mason and Claire.
I am so blessed to be your Mom. So blessed!!
