Time to Celebrate!

today is drew's birthday! and what a day he has had! he got to do whatever he wanted today and so we went to chuck e. cheese, then he went off on a big bike adventure with his dad and they had a blast! we are so blessed to have this child in our lives, he is the sweetest boy. his heart is so big and he loves his siblings so much! today at chuck e. cheese he got to play all the video games he wanted. when he ran out of tokens he came to me to ask for more. i was holding on to one last token which i had been saving for myself to play skiball(love that game) but i gave it to him 'cause it's his birthday and all ya know...there was a video game he wanted to go play. instead of going off to play it, he decides to hang out with deacon a bit. deacon is afraid of mostly everything at chuck e. cheese, and won't ride anything but the carousel. the next thing i know, deacon is on the carousel going for a ride. i ask drew where deacon got the token to ride the carousel, and he replied, "i gave him mine". it was so sweet! but that's the kind of boy drew is and he does things like that all of the time. i can't believe he is 10 already! double digits!!!!! he is growing up to be so responsible, i know he won't give us any problems as a teenager, but it still scares me. it's just a whole new playing field...i don't even want to think about it- so i won't! i will just thank God for the 10 years He has blessed us with, and enjoy the boy with the big heart and beautiful smile...
