They say it's your Birthday

Dear Peanut,

I can't believe that you are NINE!!  Wow, where has the time gone.  Seems like just yesterday Papa and I were hoping, praying, and begging for you to join our family.

I will never forget the day you were born.  It was a day I had looked forward to for many years.

A lot has happened in your life since last year.  You started Scouts, got much better at Baseball, and you continue to excel in swimming, piano and school.  I can't believe that you will be starting 4th grade in just a few short weeks.

You are such a fantastic big brother!  I am always so impressed by your tender heart and your desire to do what it right.  Your are growing into a fine young man.  I have been blessed beyond measure by having you as a Son, and I am so proud to be your Mama.

Dear Beanie,

Are you really six years old?!?  I remember when you were born just like it was yesterday!  You entered the world at 7-11 AM.  You have grown and changed so much this year.  You learned to read, ride a bike, swim in the deep end and play t-ball.  You continue to keep me entertained by your awesome sense of humor and sweet tender heart.  You amaze me with the pictures you draw, and the Lego's you build.  You are so creative!

Thank you for being a wonderful big brother, as well as a great little brother!  I look forward to what the next year brings and all the exciting things you will learn in 1st grade.  I am so glad that YOU are my little boy.  You have changed my life for the better.
