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.
