J turned six yesterday. He is our "tax baby". :)
I can remember how scared I was six years ago. I had an appointment on that Friday. Just routine...
Then, after a sonogram showing that this kiddo could grow up to 11 pounds in a few days, my doc chose to do a c-section. Of course, dear husband was out on an oil rig. He was 6 hours late. Thanks to the good Lord, we had asked my sister months before if she would be his backup. She was wonderful.
Our lives have changed so much since J was born. I used to be a children's/youth director with long hours. Now I am a stay-at-home mom who homeschools. I cannot imagine life any other way. I thank God for my hard working husband who provides for us so I can stay home with the kids.
Our "J" is quite a unique fellow. He got calls for his birthday even from Nigeria! He also got a card from the church's youth group. What six year old has that happen???
Here is his "unique" cake. You may have seen it at a bakery near you....but it is truly and "experience" close up....haha!
He said he had the best birthday ever. I am so glad, since we are away from home. I am blessed to have two boys who can adjust to any circumstance! :)
