Penn the Brave turns 5

To my darling Penn. Today marks the day you turn five years old. We made it to 60 months. Today is a gift and you are one of the gifts I hold so close and dear to my heart. I remember the exact moment and time (9:36 pm) that I had my first contraction with you. You were born in record time! Around 90 min!

The past five years have flown by. I know it hasn’t been easy, but if I were to collectively look at all of our memories, we definitely have more good ones, than sad ones. You and Paige bring light to my life and you have touched so many with your Penn Penn cookies, your love of ice cream, your amazing cooking skills, your love of food and your laugh.

Thank you Penn for the amazing memories, the smiles, the laughter and the love you have given our family. You’ve taught us to live in the moment and to live life to the fullest. “Don’t you want to know what happens when you don’t give up” is the quote we now live by. All because of you.

Happy Birthday my darling Penn Penn. No matter where this journey takes us, we got you. We’re in this together. We will always be a team.

Love, mom
