this blog started, long ago, as just a simple way to keep my family (read: MOM) up-to-date with family stuff.
fun family stuff like birthday parties.
and, a couple of weeks ago, we had a very special birthday party for my favorite just-turned-6-year-old. i may be a couple weeks behind, but never late than never, right?
so, let's play a little blog-world re-wind here.
6 years ago,
i sat in a hospital bed,
not knowing how soon grant owen's arrival would become.
in a last-night-of-no-kids,
matt and i shared a dinner of all my favorite pregnancy foods-
mexican enchiladas,
panera's cheese danishes,
and coldstone creamery's cheesecake icecream.
we stayed up late in the hospital room talking.
overflowing with the excitement and feelings of having a baby soon.
and then,
in a whirlwind of emergency and emotion,
grant owen entered the world.
{to my son}
grant,
you are my favorite little boy.
if i could hit pause on this journey of life,
i would have you be 6 for a long while.
every day, you become more of your daddy -
his logic,
his dependability,
his even-keeled temper.
you are your father's son.
last week,
when the fan in your room started making noise,
you decided to open the dresser drawers to change the air flow to see if that helped the fan.
seriously.
you, my son,
discussed {air flow}.
those engineering genes of your dad's?
they run strong, apparently.
every day, you are your father.
i love it.
i love seeing your mind in work.
i just pray that as much as you inherit that engineering DNA,
you also have your father's love for our Abba Father.
your father's absolutely dedication to living a life worthy of the calling.
Happy birthday, Grant.
May you seek Him all the days of your life.
