This past week, we celebrated N's 12th birthday! We have a special birthday tradition of doughnuts, candles and gifts at the crack of dawn. Our tradition required some adjustments to accommodate new work and school schedules. So after some serious pondering, we decided to kick off the birthday week with our Birthday Doughnut Celebration on the Sunday before the birthday. Instead of our traditional song, we sang "Happy Birthweek to You!" and allowed one present to be opened. A few days later, on N's actual date of birth, we enjoyed a great after-school visit from some out of town family and a wonderful dinner out to Logan's with more family. Even his teachers got in on the celebration, or so it seemed - no homework!!!
It has been an amazing privilege to parent N and a joy to watch him grow, learn and mature. We are so proud of our son and we love the person he is becoming! Children are a blessing!
