I’m filled with emotions today, but I’m going to keep this short and sweet because my thoughts don’t often come out well through my fingers. Instead I’ll just say Happy Birthday (quietly) to the sweetest little boy I know. The boy who made us a family. The boy who changed my world forever. The boy who can make me laugh, cry, yell, and hug, all within the span of six minutes. I love you Lex. Thank you for being you. A strong, confident, silly, smart, loving little boy. <\/p>\n

Happy Birthday!<\/p>\n

\"birthday<\/a>

I like to leave a little something for them to find on birthday mornings. I was also going to make a special breakfast, that didn't happen, so instead he had oatmeal with leftover chocolate "dirt" sprinkled on top. He was happy.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"early<\/a>

It's 6:00am and this is his "put down the camera and let me open presents" face. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"rubiks<\/a>

A Rubiks cube. It's good to challenge your brain at 6am, right?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"x\"<\/a>

Lex had show and tell today and he had to bring in something that starts with the letter X. He chose to draw a xylophone with his fancy new markers. I love this boy!<\/p><\/div>\n

I uploaded all of the birthday party pictures to Picasa. Check ’em out! (just click on the little picture below)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lex's 6th birthday party<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Tonight we are going out to dinner to celebrate. When I ask about their dinner choices they always choose “out” instead of me cooking for them. I try not to take that personally! Lex threw us a curve ball today by requesting Friendly’s instead of Panera Bread. Assuming he doesn’t change his mind, that’s where we’ll be headed tonight. I can’t wait for him to come home from school! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
