Happy Birthday, Henry!


Today is Henry's 8th Birthday. He's been looking forward to this day for a long, long time. Henry is the kind of kid who wakes up at 3 am on Christmas morning and can't go back to sleep. If something exciting is coming up, he tends to obsess over it. This morning he was up some time in the 5 o'clock hour and never went back to sleep. Sigh. Hopefully he'll go to bed early tonight and be well rested for tomorrow, since it's a big day as well with his baptism.

Anyway, he's had a great day. He got a bike from Jay and I, some books from William and Tessa and a basketball from Grandma, who flew in yesterday afternoon for a week-long visit. He had a birthday party today with some friends from church and school and had a blast - we had a Slip N' Slide, a blow up swimming pool, snowcones, cake and ice cream. He's still enjoying the wonderful gifts from the Wright side of the family, with whom we celebrated last week.

Henry is such a great kid. He's exuberence for life in general is contagious and we love having him as a part of our family. We love you Henry! Happy Birthday!
