this here kiddo made six on sunday.
we celebrated with games and frosted cake and presents in a smallish family gathering. note to future self: do the cake first, or little em will race lickety-split through the docket till we reach the part where he gets to eat cake.
little em's favorites at age six:
-franklin books
-legos
-rolling out play dough pies
-his nine year old brother
-anything under the general heading of baked goods
-sprinklers
-bikes and slides and tire swings
-peanut butter cups
-pillows
-coloring at the library's kid-sized tables
when i think back on our past year together, it makes me want to take a nap. still, he's bright and tenacious and lathered in charm, and that recipe aimed in the right direction could amount to a boy who revolutionizes his planet.
we're dreaming big for this one, itching to see what all God unveils in his life. happy sixth, m.

congratulations, m! happy birhtday from a big fan.
so sweet. when i see his little face, i see the picture of redemption. God's grace. and, also, i see nap potential.
reminds me of praying with you all last year before this time for you to be able to celebrate his 5th in indiana with his family, and that prayer was given. that first photo/smile of his is beautiful. there's contentment, pleasure, and peace there. "that recipe aimed in the right direction could amount to a boy who revolutionizes his planet"--you've got that right! he is so fortunate to have earthly parents loving him and dreaming for him big.
Happy Birthday em! Six is the BEST. YOU are going to rock SIX. His faves sound wonderful, I mean, who doesn't love a baked good. :)
Such a beautiful post and what a precious boy! Many blessings to you and your family. :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet M!
He sounds much like one of my little men. Can't wait to see what God has in store.
Happy Birthday, M! What a year! And many more adventures to come. :-)
Happy Birthday to Em! He shares a birthday with our granddaughter who decided to grace us with her appearance on Sunday. A good day.
