5 yr Anniversary YAY

41. Dear Josiah,
As always, I’m very thankful that at birth the doctor
was able to yank your giant head out with forceps.
Without those forceps, you would not be with us
today to turn 30 years old and therefore, I would
have never met you and nothing in this slide show
would have happened including our kids! Weird.
