HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY WILLIAM!!!

Our not so little man, was born October 29, 2005
He was born two weeks early weighing 9 lb 2 oz!!






After the first 24 hours he became harder and harder to wake up. The admitted him to the NICU for some testing and learned he had an infection of some kind and started a treatment of antibiotics and IV's.









Will was also quite Jaundice so they placed him under the lights while he was there






After 3 days in the NICU he was able to come home, but for 3 weeks he remained on the lights at home. Everyday for three weeks we had to drive him to the hospital to have his blood drawn til the jaundice finally went down




Joshua was so thrilled to be a new big brother!



This is Will at 3 weeks!




And this is our precious boy today at 4 years old!






For his Birthday we envited friends and family to come celebrate!


Will specifically wanted cupcakes with sprinkles!











We served fresh Alaska Halibut chowder and Chili made with Jared's moose he caught!


William is an amazing little boy. Full of creativity and love of life. There is never a dull moment with Will! He loves to dance and sing "original" songs, but still wants to kick your butt at a came of swords!
We love you so much and can't imagine a life without you!
Happy Birthday!!!
