FIVE

Well.... I am BACK!  It's been a LONG 4 1/2 months - We lost Patrick's sister, Corie, unexpectedly - and well quite honestly I just was not in the mood to post - nor did I ever take the time to sit down and do it.  I hope we still have followers out there!

But HOW COULD I NOT POST TODAY??!!!  Five years ago today at 5:00 PM our first born Jack Patrick was born! HE IS FIVE YEARS OLD!!  How in the world did THAT happen????  He is SUCH a joy!  He has ALWAYS had a sweet spirit - but the years three and four he explored his moody/cranky side at times :)

However in the last few months, he has become a big boy who ALWAYS pays attention to his manners, his kindness and his feelings about everything!  Both of his camp counselors told me at separate times that they had never met a never young boy with the most incredible manners!
HE IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE BIG BROTHER ON THE PLANET!!! He shares, he teaches, he guides, he encourages and he LOVES his Stenny!!  Of course they bicker - but most hours in the day I hear "Good Job" and "Please", "Thank You" and "You're Welcome" being exchanged between BOTH of them!!!  WHAT A BLESSING!!

We are soooo proud of our first born son - he makes our HEARTS BEAM!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET JACKIE  P!!!!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
