Big D Turns Eight

Today is Daniel's or as we affectionately call him Big D's eighth birthday. He is my littlest guy but he has a big heart. Always willing to help and always smiling...Daniel lights up any room he enters. It is hard to believe that it has been three years since Daniel entered our lives with quite a bang. We have had our challenges since he joined our family for sure, but Daniel is also probably my most consistently happy child. Even when he is sick, Big D is going 100 mph from the time he gets up to the time he goes to bed. He is inquisitive and jovial and tells me so often how much he likes me!! We like him too, and can't imagine life without him. He teaches me everyday what it means to persevere and have patience and I can't believe how much he has grown and changed over the last three years. With his big boy teeth in the front he looks so very grown up. Happy Birthday Big Guy!!

AWWW, what great photos of all of you! Love the new family pic! BTW, We DID get to see Kris in Atlanta. It was neat to catch up with him - thanks for the #. We were planning on going to DC also, on our way to NY, but then remembered your story, and decided it was not best to go when we clearly look like tourists. : ) We are about 5 hours from there right now, so we thought we would go after we dropped all our belongings off.

Love ya girl!

also, please stop by our blog and leave a comment on the last post. i would love to have your input!
Thanks!
