6 years and counting

Dear Christian,
Well big guy your birthday is finally here.  It seems like it took forever didn't it?  You started asking in November if your birthday was tomorrow.  You are such a good boy and make us all very proud.  You are sweet and caring with a very tender heart.

 We had some challenges this year and some big firsts!  You started kindergarten and are doing really well.  You are learning to read and you can count by two's and ten's.

 We always have fun with our cousins and grandparents.

 You and Archer is really great playmates.  There are lots of Batman battles in the living room

 You even graduated from pre-school with lots of your buddies!  You have made some wonderful friends in your short 6 years.  You also slide down the big slide at the Kingwood Country Club water park.

Our challenge this year was losing our sweet, sweet Pa.  Oh how he loved you.  He came in every Friday just to see you and have migas with you.  He sure got a lot of love into those 5 and 1/2 years he had with you.  When you started kindergarten he was quick to be the one to pick you up on Friday's after school.  He would go early and be waiting for you.  I don't know who was more excited about Friday afternoons, him or you.   We will miss him so much, but we are lucky we have our memories and pictures to keep us company. 

So my little snuggle puppy, I want you to know I love you sooooooooooo much!

Love, Momma
