Jason and I seriously could not be more proud of our son.  He is incredibly smart, kind, giving, fun, helpful, and creative.  Those aren’t just a list of adjectives.  Each of those are traits that he fully demonstrates.  He started kindergarten this year and is already reading chapter books meant for kids several grades above him.  He is involved in many activities and keeps us on our toes with his diverse interests.  I am shocked at his drawings and artistic skill because I have NONE!  He writes terrific stories that are beyond his years.  I love so many of his stories that this summer we are going to make them into a keepsake book!  Many of you know that our annual food drive started because of him.  This Easter season he did chores around the house and for family to raise money to give to our church’s rice bowl project for the hungry.  Recently he took all of the money he had been saving up from birthdays and holidays and donated it to our local crisis pregnancy center.  He has the biggest heart!

Seeing his pictures from this year’s birthday session made me tear up.  I love him so much and I cannot express how grateful I am to God for giving me the gift of all of my kids!  It fills my heart.  Here are a few highlights from my oldest son’s annual birthday session.
