A Surprise Visit


My brother Tony moved to Colorado Springs in August of 2008. It was sad to see him go so far but exciting for him to move to such a beautiful place... I knew it would be hard for me when it came time for Will's birth. I wanted my whole family to be there when he was born, but I knew Tony was where he was supposed to be. The week before Will was born my doctor told me I wouldn't make it to Valentine's Day. I didn't know that Patrick and Tony were talking and trying to figure out when he should come. He had actually planned on coming in the weekend of Valentine's Day to surprise me and hopefully make the delivery. Will decided to come early but the day after he was born guess who walked into the room??!!

It was awesome to see Tony there and to see him holding his nephew! I was happy he drove all that way just to be with us. It was really special. We love uncle Tony!

Side note: My sister in law, Mindy drove in from Abilene and got there right after he was born. I texted her at about 5am because I didn't want to wake anyone up. When she checked her phone in the morning she bolted up, packed up herself and two kids and got there as fast as she could. We are so blessed to have such an amazing family!
