Twenty-four years ago on Feb 5th we welcomed our first son into our home. Surprise... he wasn't due for another three months, on my birthday, April 28th. Brandon made his grand entrance 11 weeks early weighing in at a whopping 2 lb. 12 oz (actually surprising the doctors who predicted a 1 pound baby). It was a long road traveled for a young married couple, still going to school. We were blessed with relatively few complications in comparison and were able to bring him home two months later, at 4 lbs 9 oz on March 29th.
And he's still surprising us! He and Julie flew in for a visit for Brandon's birthday. We have so enjoyed spending the last few days with them--sightseeing, shopping, videos, competitive ping pong games... What a great surprises this boy is full of!
Julie looks great, 6+ month pregnant (and Brandon looks great, too).
Good luck charms is what they are as they were in attendance to watch Nathan's final basketball game in which they pulled off an unexpected win against a team that has only lost one game all season.The KC Public Library is unique...
The Fairy Princess Interactive display at the Crown Center...Brandon and Julie get a feel for what Goldilock experienced in the Three Bear's House...
The weather was a little snowy but not too cold. Didn't stop the KC fountains from flowing.
It was a wonderful visit! Thank you, Julie, for giving Brandon such an awesome birthday present! I have a feeling we are not done with Brandon Surprises. Life is good.
