On August 11, 2000 God rocked the world when Peter Westley Harding - Wheeler was born at 9:42 p.m.. At the time I didn't know he existed yet and his name was Lorenzo Desmond but somewhere in my heart I was getting ready for the best and most beautiful blessing in the world. On August 16, 2000 I headed to Hartford Hospital with Auntie Kate and Auntie Mary to meet the tiny little creature that would change my life forever and teach me more about the world than anyone else! Peter nestled into my arms that day and has fit perfectly in them ever since! The pictures are out of order but you get the idea! Pete had a wonderful birthday that turned out louder than we expected - thanks to the drum set we bought him! He is blessed with family and friends that adore him and parents who love nothing more than to celebrate his life!

Peter gets a hug from his godmother on his birthday! When Peter was a baby he spent a good deal of time curled up on KK's chest and he still loves to be tucked into one of her hugs!
He couldn't do this when he was born!
My handsome boys!
Uncle Colin indulged Pete in some poker on his birthday and Peter's best friend Lucas came over for the day to hang out with Peter and celebrate!
Happy Birthday, Peter! 
Grammy and Papa came home from the beach to be with Peter on his birthday - he is so lucky!
Grammy and Papa brought his very own set of poker chips and a pineapple!
Pete's 1st call of the day - Auntie Meg!

Peter and his sisters opening presents! Ellie was still asleep!
First thing in the morning there was the birthday muffin!
We had a great time celebrating Peter and the day he was born. Nothing could have prepared me 10 years ago for how fast this time would go by. Peter is a blessing beyond anything I ever expected and our life is filled with joy because of him and his sisters! When I asked Pete what the best part of his birthday was - his response was "I just love being loved by everyone, Mom!"
