Eight

Eight years ago today, my day started a little after 5:00am, jumping out of bed, to wake my husband to let him know the blessed day had arrived, whether we were ready or not...which we were -- sort of. I mean, yes, the baby room was put together (we had just moved and it was literally the only room put together) and we were more than ready to meet 'it' (sorry, no nicknames here and we didn't know the gender), however, I was a week early, not bad, and my bag wasn't packed in our very boxed, very un-packed apartment. But yes, we were ready and excited to meet this wonderful little blessing. Two hours later we were at the hospital and at 4:36pm Kabriel Michael Schuster had made his entrance. There are so, so many memories since September 5, 2000 and I can't wait to see what the future brings!

For today, here are a few things you should know about Kabe:

He is kind, gentle-hearted and loves to make people laugh.


He loves his dad!


He loves to play with his friends and be active. He has more energy than just about any kid I know!




God created me to be this boy's mommy. Only God could love him more.
