MY BIRTHDAY BOY

Happy Birthday Lendl!!!

It is so hard to believe that my sweet boy is already 3. I took some time today to look through pictures of him throughout his life and what joy fills my heart as I recognize the blessing that he has been to our family. An even greater blessing is to know that we can be an eternal family. Lendl is so full of love and life and has so much admiration for his brother. I love to watch the two of them (on good days). I am sure that I am not the only parent that misses the baby stage of their children but I do. He is growing up so fast. Of course I want my children to grow and enter new phases of life but the process needs to slow down. I hope that he will never shy away from my hugs and kisses and that he never stops giving them. He gives GREAT hugs and kisses.

Today is his actual birthday, however we had a small party for him last week. He has been into firetrucks and fireman for a long time and I thought for sure that would be the theme of his party but when we took him to Party City, he wanted an Army theme...so Army it was. He invited a few friends from nursery (plus their siblings) and had a great time. He was so excited to have a party. He kept telling people he was turning 6 years old.


Sweat and face paint do not go well together but a sure sign that he was having a blast. In case you cannot tell, his cake is a Tank. I am not a professional cake decorator ( I know several of you readers are) but he loved it and that is what counts.
His mean machine soldier face.
Little Daniel really got into the face paint.
A grenade war (well, water balloons anyway).
Thanks to his friends that helped him celebrate his special day.
