Our Noah is 7

Birthdays in this house mean picture time! So here's my baby. . . I mean BIG BOY, Noah's 7 year old pictures.

He's been all about Batman this past year so naturally, we had to do Batman pictures! :-)




And as the most common words out of his mouth are, "Mom, can I play games on your phone?", we had to get some of him playing. (Angry Birds, just in case you were wondering. ;-))


And since I'm sure he'll be some handsome, suit-and-tie businessman in about 20 years, here's the proof that I knew it way back when. :-)



Happy birthday, Goo! We sure love having you in our family!

Brooklyn's Grampa Mason

This is a story that Brooklyn wrote about her Grampa Mason, along with the paper doll she made of him. It's quite a similar likeness, if I do say so myself. :-)

My Birthday Wish

4 years ago I was sitting at home alone when I decided that I wanted to start a blog. I was so far away from family and friends, and feeling so homesick that I hoped a blog would help me stay connected with everyone I had moved away from. Since that day, we've move another 2 times, and now I'm far away from even more friends.

So, if I could have just one birthday wish, it would be for all those that read this to please leave a comment, or reply to my new post email, and let me know that you're still here with me, even if it's just in print. I miss you all so much and am finding it hard to repeatedly leave behind so many that I care for, even though I know that there are new friends to be found wherever we land. Doing this would really be a wish come true.

With much love,

~Andrea
