Four years ago today, Bryan and I got the biggest surprise of our lives! Each year on all of my kid's birthdays, I spend time looking at photos and watching their birth videos and reading the blogs I wrote about their births. Today was no different. As I read the blog I wrote about our surprise BOY, one of the sentences struck me. I had written, "Although surprises aren't always easy for planners like me, I'm 100% positive that this will turn out to be the best surprise Bryan and I ever receive!"
Wow, 4 years later I can already say, "YES, YES, YES!"
I cannot imagine life without our sweet boy, Tyson! He has brought so much joy and laughter and love into our home. He has been a mommy's boy and my sweet snuggle-buddy since day 1! I knew that day that God allowed this surprise for a purpose. We had planned to get my tubes tied while I was in the hospital but with the big surprise, we decided to wait. Because of that, our family ended up growing again 2 years later which wouldn't have happened without Tyson being a surprise. God knew what He was doing. He knew that our family was supposed to be a family of 6! I've gotta say, He has taught me so much from this surprise also.
I just had to share a few pictures of my third son, Tyson. His smile is contagious and his joy is never-ending. I had a hard time deciding which pictures to share because there are thousands of cute pictures of this adorable boy!

Today I am grateful for my buddy, Tyson. I can't believe he is 4 years old already! How is that possible? I am so thankful for his happy heart, his creative imagination, his determination, and his agreeable spirit. I cannot imagine life without this spunky little guy in our family. Tyson is truly the best surprise we've ever received. I am also grateful that God's plans are so much better. We thought we were having a girl, we planned for a girl, but we were given a boy and he has blessed our lives abundantly! Thank you, Lord, for our sweet Tyson and for the plans you've had for our family!
