FIVE

Well, five years ago we held our boy for the first time.  It's been the best watching him grow.  It's common knowledge that it all goes too fast.  He is so sweet and smart mixed in with some silly and crazy with a little disobedience.  In other words,  all boy.  We love him so.

Got to go on the church men's camp out for the second year:

Has some generous friends who celebrated with him and knew just what he wanted...and then fell out of a tree:

Is a good poser for his photog sister and likes soccer:

Was super excited to open his gift from Great Aunt Sue-paints and letters of his name.  He was so focused and proud of his completed project:

Enjoys the dentist and is a good little patient:

Likes mixing stuff and finally got to do this candy making alien autopsy that was given to us a few years ago. (We didn't eat any of it): 

Continued the air show tradition:

I have him programmed that he will call me every day in college and move next door to me after he graduates. ;) He wants to know if people we know/meet know God.  His little mind is still a sponge-soaking in everything around him. He is adored by his siblings and loves them well.  

We cannot get enough of you, sweet boy, and are delighted to watch your life from the front row.
