Seventh Birthday!!

Today we are celebrating Alex's 7th Birthday. 

I can hardly put into words how much this boy means to us. 

It has been such a huge blessing to watch him grow and change.

He has changed us all. 


This is a song his sister, Analese, wrote and sang for us for Christmas.  The words are below.

How He Gets Our Love

He was a butterfly in a cocoon
A sunflower just waiting to bloom
A recipe that needed some ingredients
Stirred up by the Master Chef
He was just waiting to shine
To turn into a butterfly

(chorus)
Because of his smile
We traveled for miles
To get the child God wanted for us
All they saw
Was his flaws
But that's what God calls perfection
I don't know how anyone could give him up
But I guess that's how he gets our love

For you it was a lot of pen to paper
And like 3 trips later
He sometimes throws his fits
But we all love him to bits
Now he can shine
He can soar and fly

(chorus)

In a year he sure has grown
Because of giggles, dancing and a home.
(chorus)
