No more scary stuff

Today for some reason is hard. I am sure it is because of the season and what that was like in our house. Having the 4 kids in the house at times made for a pretty busy place. I miss that!!! I see kids living their lives and feel sad that Spencer doesn't get to take part in that. I am sure it is small potatoes to all he is taking part in where he is at but I don't get to see that. I know there isn't anything scary though!!! Missing him everyday, I love you Spencer!!

Spencer's 10th Birthday

Today is Spencer's birthday.

I have a funny story about the day he was born. I took the day off of work and headed down to Tacoma where Mark and Taunya were living. I hung out with Makenna and Robby for a few hours then headed over to the hospital at around 11am.

I sat there all day long, waiting. I had never been present for the birth of a niece or nephew and was determined to see this one through. I stayed there all day and long into the night. I had to work the next day and was staring at a long drive home, so I took off when it became clearly that he wasn't going to arrive anytime soon.

From what I learned the next day, the little guy popped out before I was even out of the parking lot. That was his style though, and he pretty much always did things on his own time and by his own rules.
