Our youngest loves holding up all five fingers on one hand as he proclaims he is now FIVE YEARS OLD!! Its a big deal in his neck of the woods. He cleverly fit this into his conversation with our pastor this morning. “I’m five years old. How old are you?”
We had fun celebrating our lil guy this past Thursday. He knew he had received gifts and cards in the mail but was (somewhat) patiently waiting to open them. Thankfully, the wait was over! He started off the morning opening presents in bed. Thank you to all the Grandparents for loving on your youngest grandson and helping make his Birthday so fun!
We were a bit late getting big brother to school but still managed to make it before the bell! Playing with toys seemed much more exciting than getting ready for school. Understandable! We fit more playtime in once we got back to the house.
Mid-morning, we walked over to our favorite coffee house where S announced his Birthday. Within minutes he was handed a yummy, edible gift to enjoy!
Gotta love spontaneous kisses from a newly minted five year old! (heart-melting…)
Our friends, Mrs. Amy and her son contacted us and asked if they could stop by. We met up with them at the house. They had a birthday gift for the Birthday Boy! I loved their thoughtfulness…it meant a lot! Afterwards, we joined Hubby for lunch. S ADORES his Daddy and considers it a HUGE treat to get to have lunch with him!
The park was the next destination of choice for our little guy so off we went to play.
Before we knew it, we needed to head back to E’s school to pick him up. Shortly after, we picked up Daddy and drove to an indoor kid’s Jump House. We had gone there for E’s Birthday and S had so much fun that he wanted to return. Sure! The boys played HARD and so did their parents! We ate dinner there and were the last people to leave at closing. Thankfully, E’s Spring Break started the next day so we didn’t feel the pressure of bedtime.
Time for cake! We sang Happy Birthday to this incredible blessing of ours and watched him make his wish before blowing out his candles. God truly blessed us in sharing this boy of His with us. S continues to be joy-filled, inquisitive, quite the little singer and dancer, loving, fun and rather profound at times when he prays. He has been a true gift to our family. Our little S (who is not so little anymore) is one of the dearest hopes of my heart that God fulfilled in the very best way! We are so grateful!!!!!
Just a quick FYI…
We are on Spring Break this week so things will be pretty quiet here on the blog while we go and play. I look forward to reconnecting once we are back.
hugs, me
