Turning Six?

April 21, 2010 in Family, Parenting with 32 Comments

Most people have a hard time with their youngest child growing up, but not me. I have the hardest time with Gage, our middle (but not average) son, getting older. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s that he’s still more dependent on his parents than his other two brothers. Maybe it has to do with his sweet spirited nature. I don’t know, I just know it’s hard for me to believe he’s turning six today.

Even though we celebrated his birthday Friday night at Chuck E. Cheese (somehow I survived) it was still important to him that I be at home with him when he woke up on his actual birthday. I had some previous commitments with Plan B that I really needed to keep but the good folks at Thomas Nelson, The A Group and Exponential Conference bent over backwards to work it out where I could be at home this morning. Thank you Emily, Shannon and Jan for making that happen.

Here’s a few pics from Friday night. And as a bonus here’s the video of Gage being born. I’ve posted it before but it never gets old. I could watch this video a thousand times! That kid grabbed my finger and my heart all within the first minute he was born and he’s never let go.

Love you Gage! Happy 6th birthday.

Call Me Grizzly Adams

I turned a whopping 34 years-old yesterday!

Brandi asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said I wanted to go camping. So yesterday, after work we loaded up, drove about an hour east, and pitched our tents. It was a nice break from the chaos of life.

Thought you might enjoy a few pics of our adventure!

have a great weekend,

Pete

Happy Birthday “Smoke”

Happy Birthday Gage

Today is Gage’s birthday. It’s hard to believe our ‘Gageypoo’ is turning 4. Gage is always keeping us in stitches with his quick wit. I told this story at Cross Point not long ago:

A few weeks ago Gage came to me and said,”I didn’t want you to call me Gageypoo anymore. I’m too old for that.”

“Well what do you want me to call you, buddy?” I asked.

He replied, “I want you to call me Smoke”.

“Smoke! You can’t go from Gagypoo to Smoke,” I told him.

Gage, there are three good reasons I can’t call you Smoke.
1) You are still scared of monsters in your room.
2) You still wear Bob the Builder underwear.
3) You sit down to pee.

Happy Birthday Gage! I love you, son. You may be the middle child but, you are anything but average. Your smile, hugs, and outgoing personality make everyone around you feel special. Son, you have what it takes and your mother and I want to support you in all of your dreams as you grow. I would do anything in the world for you, however, I’m still not going to call you “Smoke”.
