Turning 7

Turning 7 is a big deal for a little boy. So we decided to celebrate big. This year instead of throwing a party we created a day full of memories.

We spent the day celebrating Jackson playing in the water at Great Wolf Lodge and dinner and games at Dave and Busters. Jack was in heaven and I was thrilled at not having a big party to plan.

We invited our closest friends and celebrated a boy who burst into our lives seven years ago.

This boy has been such a bright spot in our lives with his passion, wit, energy, and ninja moves. His belly laugh is one of the best sounds on the planet. The kid has the ability to pick up any sport and excel (a gift that was clearly not genetic). This year it's been amazing to watch his tender heart and compassion for others grow. And what year would be complete for Jackson without a broken arm?

Happy birthday, Jackson. You'll always be my favorite boy.
