WOW, I can not believe how quickly the last five years have flown by. Not only has it passed quickly, but the events surrounding the last five years have been tremendous. We have lost several loved ones, including fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and aunts, we had another beautiful baby boy, we moved 1,700 miles cross country, we've got jobs and lost them and in between all of that we have watched our baby boys grow up into young children. It's just amazing the circle of life. I know that life will not slow down anytime soon and I'm OK with that. I think, the thing I have learned the most in the past five years of being a parent, is to take each day for what it is, good or bad. And really try not to rush things to happen to soon. Our boys will only be boys for so long and I want to cherish that. And I have also learned that their unconditional love helps me to be a better person. It helps me to remember that no matter how many times I have to yell at them to pick up the basement or put their shoes on the shoe rack that they will always love me and I will always love them....So with all that said we had a great time celebrating John's 5th birthday.
John had school today, so his birthday celebration started off there with cupcakes for his classmates. They all sang him Happy Birthday, and he got to sit at the "special" table for lunch . When Andy and Tricia got home from work, John got to open his birthday presents (he made out like a bandit) and was grateful for everything he got. Then it was off to Castleton Dinner, John's choice! After a yummy dinner out we headed home for a birthday cake!! It was a great way to end the day and celebrate John!
