My oldest son turned six today...six! I simply can't believe it. When I was pregnant with him, having had a girl first, I couldn't imagine what loving a boy would be like. I'll never forget getting to know him at the hospital during the hours after he was born. Nursing him in the dark while my husband slept in the chair next to me, it happened. I fell in love. I will never forget what he looked like. He was tiny, and his little head popped out of the tightly-wrapped white hospital blanket. That little head was covered in perfectly spiked black hair. I can remember just staring at him; he was just beautiful.
Today we celebrated his birth with a breakfast of cinnamon rolls he requested, a picnic lunch at the park, and dinner out with some friends. There were gifts, but
this one had to wait. I'll be finishing it up tomorrow.
I'm so very thankful for this sweet, adventurous boy. His zest for life is inspiring and addictive. What a gift he is!

We love that boy. So thankful our kids can be friends. (and us,too!) That cuff is so cute! Maybe I'll have to try a zipper sometime soon...
Sweet boy. We love him so and are proud of who he is becoming...most recently, "brave little protector." I can picture that cuff on his arm already!
