eight

on may 5th....

the one who made me a mama....

turned eight years old....

he was so, so excited....

i do believe he had a good day.  A day with a special breakfast, happy birthday songs at home and school, his favorite dinner (macaroni and cheese), cupcakes and ice cream treats, his first baseball game of the season....

a busy day but a good one....

it is hard to believe how quickly time is flying....

he is growing up to be one amazing young man (of course, i'm biased).....

he is sweet, kind, thoughtful, caring, smart, silly, inquisitive...

an amazing big brother....his little brothers truly adore him....

he loves to build tree forts, hunt for frogs and snakes, dig for worms and bugs, play sports (soccer, basketball, and baseball), fish, ride his bike and scooter (and his new rollerblades)....

he loves to try and figure out how things work--is always creating inventions out of tin foil, rubber bands and paper clips or whatever other little scraps of things he can get his hands on....

one day, my son, if you happen to come upon this....

never lose that curiosity....

i know you will do great things one day.....

and remember you are so loved.....

we are so proud of you....

you make us smile..... how can we not with that sweet smile of yours....

you bring us great joy and laughter....

we wish you the happiest of birthdays and happiness all the days on....

love you lots,

mommy and daddy
