ask and you shall receive...

Melissa practically begged me for another post of pictures from Brady's party.
Since I'm just that nice, here are several more. :)

And posting these makes me a liar since I said I was done.
But aren't these pictures worth it?!?!?!!!
I kind of think so.

Our baby. Cason is the happiest, sweetest little boy alive. He has a way of making any person who comes in contact with him, fall completely head over heels in love. He is snuggly and sensitive. He had our hearts from the moment we laid eyes on him when he was 11 months old. We knew he was going to bless our lives and change our world in ways we had never dreamed before meeting him. He suffered a lot in his first year of life and we get to spend the rest of our lives making up for what he had to endure. A blessing beyond words.
