Its great to be.....

8!!!

Eight years ago today, I received my greatest gift - motherhood.
John turned 8 today.
We celebrated his day at the park.
We had dinner at Bugaboo Creek.
Afterwards we had our family over for cake.
This guy loves a good party.
He brings so much happiness to everyone.
He is a gift!

Happy Birthday to him!

Didn't your other son just turn 5? Maybe I'm hallucinating . . . but if I'm right, I'm impressed you managed to time them exactly 3 years apart!

Hey Amy...

Trying to get around and say hello to my fav bloggers while I'm still able to keep my eyes open. I've been reading but no energy to comment.

Thanks for the continued prayers for John. He sure needs them!

Btw, you have quite the handsome 8 year old! Just love his smile...

Still so happy that you raised him to be a Sox...that is raising a boy right.

Now if we could just work on his NL team being the Padres, we would be set!

My oldest will be 8 soon too. So funny how I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday but I can remember every detail of that day almost 8 years ago.

Happy BIRTH DAY to you too Mom*!*
