Happy Birthday Michael!

I arrive at the hospital and am assigned to a room before they put me under to start inducing labor. Wonder if I could have ratted that hair any higher!

He was such a precious little guy.



Oh, those magnificent 70's!

Traci and Michael leaving the hotel in a horse-drawn carriage. This night was incredibly cold for November--there was some light sleet that night. Traci had to cover up with a huge blanket. Kailey was 2 years old and had been standing outside petting the horse. She cried when they left because she thought she was going to get to go with them. Talk about bittersweet!
