8 is GREAT!!

We have a birthday today!!  An almost Christmas birthday - just four days away.  He's our little miracle baby ~ my scariest c-section yet.  Thanks be to God for his birth and these blessed 8 years with him!! 

In celebrating his 8th birthday, we wanted to share 8 things we love about him...

#1 ~ That he plays legos with me.  

#2 ~ He is so compassionate and caring.  

#3 ~ He plays with me and makes me giggle.  

#4 ~ He plays games with me 

#5 ~ He’s nice to me 

#6 ~ He’s a mischievous little angel 

#7 ~ He’s a mini-me

#8 ~ His creativeness with legos and how he's a little tinkerer and engineer   

And now a look back at this last year with our sweet Pookey...

++Thank you, Lord, for Pookey!!  Please bless him today on his birthday.  Help him feel your love. And please help him feel your presence all throughout the next year!!++

5 Years with this Little Beauty

We celebrated another birthday in our house last Thursday.  Neil was blessed enough to take off work so we could celebrate Rose on her special day.  Fun meals chosen by the birthday girl and a trip to the museum - time together all day as a family!  It couldn't have been better, other than the fact that we had a kid come down with a fever that evening and had to cancel our evening swimming plans.  But after a busy day running around, being home as a family was wonderful too!

So, what do we love about this sweetie?  We normally share the number of the years, but that would only be 5!  When I asked siblings, they all spouted off things, so I have to share more....

**Her Harry Potter scar (Melody)
**She plays legos with us (Pookey)
**She snuggles me and plays with me (Lady)
**She's my little Disney princess (Fone)
**She's a 16 year old stuck in a 5 year old body (Mario)
**Her big beautiful brown eyes (Ariel)
**She's snuggly and cute (Daddy)
**She plays with me (Yoda and Max)
**She is a fashionista (Ariel)
**Her bubbly personality and the joy that radiates from her so beautifully!  (Mommy)

Here's a look back at this past year with her....

 God bless you Rose over the next year ahead!!  May you feel His love and share His love with those around you!  We love you SO much!!  Happy happy happy birthday!!!!
