How can it be that my little guy is EIGHT!?!?!? We had a "progressive birthday week" due to a strange work week and schedule on everybody's part. Rea has been swimming twice a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and they ALL swim in the evenings Monday thru Friday. We drove down to San Fran on Wednesday, the day before his birthday, because I had to take an exam (see the post below!) so afterward we had a lot to celebrate. We stopped at the Olive Garden, Ya'shar's choice, to have a birthday dinner celebration. According to the birthday boy, "It's the best restaurant in Sonoma County." Oh, to view the world through the eyes of an 8-year old. :)
We were too stuffed to have birthday cake after eating fatty Italian food (and I hadn't decorated his cake yet, only baked it) so we waited till his actual birthday to have cake. Thank goodness for flexible children. My sleep took a beating last week, severe "night shift syndrome" as I affectionately call it, and so I decorated his cake at 3:00 am while watching late night TV. The blocks were supposed to be legos, but I pootered out on decorating as daylight approached and didn't feel like frosting marshmallow halves to complete the "lego" block look. I think Ya'shar didn't mind, but I can't speak for Emmett.
Happy birthday my sweet boy! You, my little baby, are so amazing! May you forever live up to your name of "Righteous Judge, Upright Ruler", and continue to rule your days with love and grace.
