Happy Birthday Six Year Old!!!

Billy turned six, my how time flies! I still remember, like it was yesterday, nearly every detail of his entry into this world. And I have the warmest remembrance of him nestled up into my neck, wrapped like a little bug in a rug, sleeping so peacefully that first morning together in the hospital. The early morning light was just beginning to lighten the room, barely making out the shape of his little sloped nose, plump lips and round face. I'll never forget that amazing feeling as I held him on my chest, and listened to his soft breathing. He was mine, and I was his. What a magical, sacred moment!

But now he's six! We still cuddle up for a book or a bedtime chat. But he's much more of a man now! We had a great time putting on a "Bike Party" for him, decked out with an obstacle course with ramps, bike wash area, bike decoration area, tune-up area... lots of fun!


Oh, and he scored his first ever goal today at his soccer game. I caught Seth's response to the goal on film: he was seriously proud of his big bro! It was a good day!
