Happy 9th Birthday, B!

On May 23rd, we celebrated B's 9th Birthday!


A little birthday snuggle from cousin R.


And a hug from S too!


We enjoyed two family parties PLUS a mini-golf outing with two of B's favorite friends!


NINE things we don't want to forget about nine-year-old B-bop:

1. B always has to have socks on...regardless of whether they match or are even his!

2. B LOVES to sing...anywhere, any song, any octave!

3. B enjoys just a bit of quiet time downstairs watching TV each morning before the other kids join him...so he very carefully navigates each of the many creaks in our wood floors to travel downstairs. alone. undetected.

4. B's favorite sport is golf, which he loves learning during lessons arranged by Grandpa each summer.

5. B has an amazing ear for music...he can pluck out most songs he hears on the piano or the trumpet...from new pop songs to the National Anthem!

6. B enjoys inventing backyard games combining random pieces of sports equipment. Wackleball...badminton racket and soccer ball...is the current favorite.

7. B is one talented trumpeter!

8. B has a HUGE heart for loving and sharing Jesus!

9. B is a FANTASTIC son and big brother!


Happy 9th Birthday, B! WE LOVE YOU!
