HE'S 7!!!!

Yesterday was my little one's 7th birthday! And I can't help but feel nostalgic. It feels like just yesterday that he was a tiny 7lb baby in my arms. So small, with wide eyes and Rosy cheeks. There was no way of knowing back then how quickly time would pass, and what an extraordinary young man he would become. Well I admit I always knew he'd be a keeper ;) but he has far exceeded, even at 7, all of my expectations. I couldn't hope for anything more. Every time he makes me smile or laugh, or jumps and dances around the house, or tells me one of his made up knock knock jokes, I am reminded how wonderful life can be. With all of the bad surrounding us each and every day, it is a treasure to be touched by pure good. I am so thankful for just the opportunity to know him, but the fact that I was chosen to be his mother...now there is something to be grateful for!
