Birthday boy!

Nearly a month ago this little man turned 6.  He's my quiet, independent son, who, I fear, I tend to neglect at times.  Thankfully he doesn't complain about it much, and is always happy to curl up with a book and spend some time with mom or dad.  He will be entering 1st grade in the fall and does well at school.  He struggles to focus on it, (so often we complete his work as we move from room to room in the house, and he will often complete oral assignments while laying under the table or running around), but he's really doing well in school.  He a busy boy who loves to learn by doing.  He especially enjoys cooking with me.  Spaghetti is one of his favorite things to help make.  He also really enjoys riding his bike, finding bugs, exploring creeks and woods, playing in water and mud, and all the other things little boys enjoy at this stage of life!

We sure love this one that God has entrusted to us, and pray that he would grow into a man God will use in this crazy, mixed-up world.
