Happy Birthday Dawson!

I can't believe you are already 8! You are our firstborn bundle of joy whom we brought home with excitement mixed with fear as we learned how to take care of you physically and (are still) striving to raise you spiritually so that you may have an understanding and love of Scripture and a lifelong passion for Jesus Christ. We have enjoyed watching you grow into a smart, funloving, silly yet tenderhearted boy that just plain wears us out!! We wouldn't have it any other way.


Here is the Birthday boy with the cute little puppy cake his NaMa and PaPa brought him
NaMa and PaPa stayed for a few days and brought presents and cake and fun for Dawson's birthday. The kids get so excited to stay in the hotel with them when they come visit....that is the highlight because they get to spend lots of alone time with them.
We also had a celebration with MiMi and PaPa too but I forgot to bring my camera....as always! He had a great time celebrating with his cousin Kaitlyn who is one day younger than he is. I am also in the midst of planning a little birthday fun with a few of his friends that I will post later.
We love you Dawson!

Sounds like he had a wonderful birthday!

Oh my goodness! This is so crazy...I just clicked onto your blog through Marci's page, and I realized that I just met you when I was visiting Bartlesville a few weeks ago. You and your husband kept my baby girl Parker in the nursery at Southern and were so sweet! I had no idea you knew all these great gals I knew from when I lived in Bartlesville. Small world. Which I guess shouldn't be surprising in a small town. But still, I thought I'd say hi!

How is homeschool going?

Hey Lori,

Homeschooling is going great...but now that our other activities have started up it has been quite busy though. Throw in a 3 month old and I can barely keep up with everything as you can probably tell by my lack of blog entries!! I know it is a season but at least I am enjoying it and not stressing about it like I once used to do with subsequent babies! Email me and let me know all about your new home, new town, new church and new homeschooling year! Whew! I bet your quite the busy girl too.
