We celebrated a special 6 year old this week. He has been reminding us for the last 2 months that he will be 6 in October so I have been preparing myself. We decided to celebrate with Grandparents in North Carolina for the weekend.
Here’s our week . . .
I see you Silas. 
We had no plans this weekend, which is unusual. So we took full advantage of our free calendar and did nothing.

Today Brooks celebrates his 3rd birthday. I’m filled with memories and stories of this sweet boy and think about the moments that brought us to where we are now. I’m exhausted. Not only because I’ve been planning his parties – yes parties, as in more than one. I’m exhausted because of all the thought and worry and prayers and work Mark and I have put into this little boy. And that is one of the reason why he is one lucky guy.
Little Brooks,
Happy Birthday! I’m so excited that you are excited. This is the first year that you understand what a birthday is and what you do at a birthday – you eat cake. You’ve been talking about your birthday since March, so I think we are all happy that it is here.
Before you were born, I couldn’t wait to see you and hold you. I don’t know if I’ve ever planned, worried, or longed for any other single event in my whole life. Everyday, you surprise us with your words, stories, and songs. You are becoming a wonderful little guy so fast.
Since its your birthday, here are some of my favorite memories, pictures, and things about you.
I love your smile. Its contagious!
Hello, its October! So we have a new blog. I thought this process of switching would take a couple of hours, but it took me weeks because I’m so indecisive. As usual, its been a whirlwind around here so I’ll do catch up with a few photos.
Its the County Fair! The kids were bonkers that night.
