T Turns 7!

Our birthday season now draws to a close as we celebrated T turning 7 years old.  

It was great fun to celebrate twice, once at home with family and his best friend and also a few days later with a big party at our local YMCA with all his friends.

Our Dearest T,

You truly are the sweetest little boy we know.  

The way you treasure your baby brother, gladly share all that you have with your middle brother and give generously to everyone you know, shows the great depth of love and kindness your heart holds.

Your willingness to do what is right and good is incredibly commendable.  Your kindergarten teacher says that the kids all love you and respect you tremendously as you strive to be a leader in your own quiet and gentle way as you participate in class.

We delight in you and praise the Lord for giving you to us as our first baby boy!!  Oh how we adore you, precious T!

May this new year of life be filled with many fantastic adventures, deep friendships and God's love pouring upon you and through you.  May He be your source of strength, hope and joy!

Happy 7th Birthday, Sweet T!

This year -- ALL about Star Wars!  (Pictured above with new Bounty Hunter outfit)

Luke and Darth Vader cake toppers that light up!

Amazing to me that my boys pick look-a-likes to be their best friends!  T's best friend looks like he could be T's twin!  :)

Walkie Talkies!  Now, these best friends talk in the morning before and after school (yes, they are both in HEAVEN with this new way of hanging out!)

SO many fun Star Wars presents!  Thanks, Uncle J!!  :)

Sweet Grandma K is so good about including the non-birthday kids in a special treat too.  1,500 lady bugs for P to help release in our backyard at twilight on T's birthday evening.  P is our "bug man" and was THRILLED!
