So, our big boy turned 7. How is this possible? Wasn't I just writing about how he learned to roll over. And crawl? And that he took his first steps. Watching your children grow is so very bitter sweet. There is this surge of joy. That they have grown closer to independence. They have learned new skills and matured. Every day is a step closer to the person they are becoming. However, there is also this surge of sadness. They need you less. The days of babyhood are becoming more faded.
I'll never forget the moment when I was in our apartment in Louisville, rocking my sweet baby Everett. He was just days old and I remember looking down at him wondering what kind of boy he would turn out to be. Well, I could not be happier that God has given me this boy. Everett is funny, witty, passionate, curious, determined, intelligent, and can be so sweet. He is very artistic and I think that just might be his "thing." A day does not go by where he doesn't grab a piece of construction paper and a pencil and sketch something. And it is 90% of the time Star Wars related. Which leads me to his family birthday party. This year's theme was Star Wars.
And the majority of his gifts were Star Wars related.
Oh my. A chocolate cake with 7 birthday candles!
And littlest brother certainly loves cake.
This one too.
Happy Birthday Everett Grey!
