I have a 6 year old

When I think back to 6 years ago today, I am reminded of so many different emotions. Exhaustion and pain come to mind, but they are very quickly overshadowed by overflowing love and joy. July 21, 2005 was the day we welcomed Aidan into this world. He gave me a tough run, with 42 hours of labor, but he was so worth it. Today he is a boy who, above all, wants to squeeze fun into every second of his day. He has been given the gift of leadership and compassion, and because of that, I know that God is going to use him in some great ways.

We have a party planned for Saturday, but wanted to make today special for Aidan. We packed a picnic lunch and took the boys up to Bee Cave to play at the splash pad at the Galleria. They had so much fun running around and burning all that energy they have! We very seldom go out for ice cream, so they were very excited to get to go to Amy's after lunch. They played in the fountain some more before we headed home.

I always let the birthday boy pick whatever they want to have for dinner. Aidan loves breakfast food, and asked for french toast. We had a sweet dinner with some pineapple and mango, before trying to calm them down for bedtime. It was a fun day for all of us, except maybe Sebastian who just wanted to be sleeping in his crib!

We are so very proud of Aidan, our soon to be kindergartner, and cannot wait to see who he grows up to be. Happy Birthday, Aidan!!
