Happy Birthday to the Will.i.ams!
Today is a special day…grandson and grandfather share a birthday and a pretty sweet first name. When I went into labor 8 years ago, the night before my dad’s birthday, 8 DAYS OVERDUE, I never dreamed what a special occasion it would become. Scott’s dad had William as his first name, too, so there was never a question what Master Will’s name would be. Here’s a quick walk down memory lane…
2001
Just a mere 6 days old.
2002Believe it or not, in a land far, far away, we were a quaint little family of 3.
2003Our first year back in Texas
2004

2006
And then we were 5!
2007
2007 (again) with Papa Bill at his 60th!
2008
At the bowling alley and in Indiana with his Godparents, Fr. Kevin and Carla
Will, I cannot believe you are 8. You are smart and funny and so darn sweet, when you want to b,e anyway. You love to read, you love to fight with your brother and you love to give your sisters kisses, even when they don’t want them. Somedays I wish I could stop time.
May the world never taint your faith or your spirit. Rather, may you flourish in a society that desperately needs strong men of faith, conviction and principle. With every day, we are thankful that God gave you to us first. There is no better “biggest” brother than you. We love you, more.
HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY!!
Happy Birthday to Will…and Bill.
Happy Birthday Willy Wonka! I can’t believe I first met you when you were 3 going on 4?? Can that be right! Man life goes by fast!
