Happy Birthday, Grayson!

How can it have already been 5 years since I held that sweet baby?

And has it really been 4 years since he tasted cake for the first time?

And Elmo. I can still hear "Elmo's World" playing thru my head.

And really? It has been 2 years since he got his first bike?

Even just 1 year ago he looked like such a little guy.

Now he's our big boy--a 5-year-old. What a big year for a big boy.


Grayson, you mean the world to us, and we are so proud of you. You are kind, funny, and smart beyond your years. We are often awed by your observations and inquiries. You're such a thinker. And what an awesome big brother you are. The tender way in which you love your sister--that's not something that can be taught, that's just who you are. How lucky we all are to have you as our son and brother. We are excited for you--excited for all of the things that you will learn and accomplish this next year. Thank you for bringing indescribable joy to our lives each and every day. We love you.

I hope he had a great day! I just can't believe our boys are 5. Lots has happened in those 5 years!
