Time to celebrate!
Blake turned 8 years old today. My how time flies.
Josh and I were remembering this same day that took place in 2003 in Dallas, TX. Blake took his sweet time joining us (he was 1 week late), but the day he arrived was well worth the wait. He came into the world at 6:28 PM, and our lives have never been the same. We have seen him grow from squirmy, sensitive, long-legged baby to talkative, inquisitive, even longer-legged boy.
His dreams are larger than life, and his master plan seems to oddly make sense: NFL player, Navy SEAL, then storm chaser.
Not a bad career path if you ask me.
He also plans to send his parents on a trip around the world with his NFL earnings.
We won't mind that a bit.
Blake's birthday was a great one. He decided not to have a big party this year, but to have his cousin Thomas spend the night instead. We started out yesterday evening with a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.
Of course we had to embarrass him with some "Happy Birthday" singing by the restaurant staff. I think the ice cream made up for it!
There was more singing and candles when we got home, along with a birthday cheesecake- Blake's choice.
The cheesecake didn't last long!
Blake told us over and over again thank you for making his birthday so special.
I think we're the ones who should be thankful.
We were blessed with a wonderful little boy eight years ago!
