Golden

 
Eight years ago today, David was born.

On my golden birthday, as he likes to remind me.

He made me a mama--

More joy than can be expressed--

David is a gift--
He has a sharp mind, and loves to explore the world of learning.
He speaks honestly about his heart-- and feels deeply.
He is cautious and thoughtful.

I was one proud mama eight years ago of my precious baby--
and even prouder today of the little man he has become.
You are loved, David Robert.

Big Almost

As we passed the school supply section of Target the other day, 

David said, "I can't believe it's almost time for me to go back to school."  

To which Xan said, "but it's a big almost, right David?"  Melt my heart.
