Blast From the Past

Here we go again! This is from June 2003. This is our nephew Tate and he was about 5 weeks old at the time.
I love this picture for lots of reasons! This was taken on our first weekend back to Amarillo to see Tate! We were supposed to fly out and then because of a bunch of rain our plane couldn't leave Houston, so we rebooked for the next weekend.

You all should remember my infertility post about Kaci getting pregnant before me, so this was a little hard to take...but once I saw the little man, I was smitten! He was so cute and tiny. We offered to get up at night and feed him so Kaci could get some much needed rest. The first night Cory got up with me each time and we would feed, change, and rock Tate. It was so fun! We loved taking care of a baby and couldn't wait to take care of one of our own! By the second night, Cory was over the newness and slept through most of the feedings!

I got to hold him, burp him, change him, feed him and basically do whatever needed to be done! Kaci and Ryan were great letting me overtake their boy! We had a blast with him! I can't believe he is going to be 6 years old in less than a week! We love you Tate!
