We have birthday #1 out of the way of our big birthday season. Our household has all 4 of our birthdays within a month, on top of halloween and Thanksgiving. It’s like one big party.
Happy Birthday dear sweet Aidan. I absolutely cannot accept that you are 8 years old now. Someone tell me how that little lump curled up inside of me and then snuggled up in my arms *just yesterday* has turned into this uber intelligent, joyful, sassy, curious, long-limbed, knock-kneed, toothy-grinned BIG kid?! Yes I have spent the weekend looking through shoeboxes filled with photographs of him throughout the years, and shedding tears here and there…but EIGHT years? It doesn’t seem real. No matter, I think this is going to be a great year for you–but could you just slow down on the growing up part just a wee bit for me?
The kids are on half-term holiday this week and there WILL be a new photo session with the new 8 year old to look forward to. Mark my words!

Dena,
Are you going to keep her?
Dad
Ha! That is SO NOT an option!!
She’s soooo cute. Are you sure you can’t keep her? He he, just kidding (I know how Hy would feel about it).
But I bet it makes you miss Marley . . .
