I can't believe my Zack is entering the double digits...
"10" years old!
It's hard to believe it's been that long since this sweet boy entered our lives.

It's hard to believe it's been that long since this sweet boy entered our lives.
I sometimes feel like he was my "miracle" child.
It started when I was in the hospital & the Dr. said he was ready to come & I looked at my mom & started crying because Steve was going to miss the birth of our first son. I thought for sure he would be back from Iraq by August, but then another miracle happened... Steve happened to call the hospital just then & was on the phone for the delivery! It was such a blessing!
Steve didn't meet him until he was 2 months old! He got to visit us for 2 weeks that October.
When Zack was 2 weeks old he was really hard to wake-up & had a temperature over 100 degrees. We had to run him to Primary's & he was given 2 spinal taps, an IV & antibiotics. It turned out to be a virus & he was in the hospital 2 days.
Then when we went in for his 2 month checkup his soft spot had closed up already & he had to have head surgery.
Luckily it all turned out well, but it was SO scary!

He was already 8 months old when Steve finally made it home!
He gave me quite a few scares his first few months of life.

Even though it was one of the most stressful times in my whole life, that sweet boy's smile could always melt my heart!
