Our first photo together!



I had no idea that I actually had a photo of Marcus and I together at the hospital until I stumbled upon this on Chris's phone today. This photo brought tears to my eyes, its amazing how much my little man has changed in 3.5 months.


The love I have for this little boy is eternal.




Love,


Katie
