On Friday my baby boy turned 7. Birthdays are bittersweet for me because I am excited about what adventure lies in the next year, but I spend the day and weeks surrounding thinking about the day they were born. I try to relive the whole thing over and over so I don't forget a single detail. Now in a little over a month, Addison will be 4. This is also bittersweet because my youngest child will go from a toddler to a preschooler.
We had the best weekend for Drake's birthday. On Friday, his actual birthday, we went to dinner and to see "Night at the Museum" and on saturday we tackled our first Spend the night party, we went to another birthday party for our friends children on Sunday and had their youngest spend the night and Drake stayed with them and their oldest. And, today we went to the mall and spend gift cards and played. As tired as I am, I really am dreading going back to work tomorrow I would love to continue this long weekend.
I want to also mention my husband, Jamey. Friday (Drake's birthday) was our 10 year anniversary! We have known each other since we were 14 years old. We have had our ups and downs but we love each other more every day. He is a wonderful father and husband and I am so blessed. After just a short 10 years, I am really glad that we fought through the first couple of years of our marriage to make it work. I really think that some people leave their marriages before they have a chance to work. Every day I grow in love with my husband. If I had walked away when it got tough, I would have missed out on all of this!!
