Happy Third Birthday, Bradley James!!!

Happy Third Birthday to my sweet little nephew, Bradley James Dorwin!!! A special little boy who was an extra-special Christmas present for our family on Christmas Eve 3 years ago!

I will never forget the night/morning he was born, and the "adventures" Chad and Nicole went through to get Bradley safely into the world! It all started with a Christmas party at our house in Barron--which led to contractions and early labor--which led to a trip to the Rice Lake hospital (where, I am sorry to say, Chad and Nicole did not receive very good care)--which led us to a middle of the night trip to Eau Claire to Sacred Heart Hospital through extremely foggy conditions with poor Nicole having contractions the whole way and poor Chad under a lot of stress with less-than-ideal driving conditions--which led (finally) to the birth of our sweet little Bradley James!
