Today was Jared's 7th birthday. My first son. My beautiful blue-eyed, smart, funny, stubborn, scrawny boy with a smile that melts my heart. So many things have happened in his short little life - my divorce from his father, my remarriage and subsequent divorce, numerous moves, the death of his step-father...and the list goes on endlessly. I can only hope and pray that I am teaching him right from wrong.
We didn't do much for his birthday because it snuck up on me quickly. I made stromboli for supper at his request, and we had cake and ice cream for dessert. A friend is coming over after school for a playdate tomorrow. And we'll go shopping on Saturday so he can pick something out. Calm and laid-back celebrating - that's how we roll.
I love you, Jare-Bear!
And now hopefully, I can get this to post, since blogger appears to be in a coma still....the wonders of modern technology!
OH YEAH!! IT'S POSTING!!!!! HOORAY! And happy birthday to your sweet boy...I can see where his smile could melt your heart.
ReplyDeleteI actually emailed this post from my phone last night, and it just showed up. My post from Wednesday (the irises) is gone - but supposedly it will be back. What a mess.....
