You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu

6!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. That moment we first found out he existed, the moment I heard he was a boy and I cried so hard because I never knew I wanted a boy so badly, the way he was so sweet to me while I was pregnant, to the moment he first looked at me and I was in love, the sweet little legs sticking out of a bubble, the precious knee socks and Jon jons, and so much more. It is so hard to put in words the love you have for your children. I wish so much they actually knew how much I love them. This little boy is our world. He makes me a better person. He is full of spunk, super shy to people he is unsure of, the life of the party with his friends, a serious school nerd, loves informational videos and learning how everything in the world works, loves anything the forms a pattern (yes, seriously), loves sharks and learning about them all the time, a Lego master, a baseball and soccer fanatic, loves anything about cars, spends countless hours just playing in his room imagining who knows what, loves his best friend drew with his whole heart, takes care of that big sis of his and depends on her a lot when he doesn't quite like a situation, is an animal lover, hunter of frogs, and the list goes on and on! And oh how he loves his mommy and daddy. I sure hope that lasts forever. He has always looked at me with this spark in his eyes that is just special for me.
You are a dream come true Whitfield Daniel. I didn't even have time to pray for you to exist, you just showed up! I love each moment and season of your sweet childhood. This year your birthday was filled with everything you wanted to do! You woke up to a soccer field in the yard. You wanted donuts for breakfast and McDonald's for lunch! We enjoyed an afternoon at the raptor center seeing all the animals and topped it all off with el som, cake, and the Prosser Olliff soccer game! I am so thankful we have you in our lives. You are so incredibly stubborn (you get that from me) and give us a run for our money a lot of times, but it is all worth it. You are a light in our family and I can't imagine life without you. My prayer for you is that you grow to be a God fearing man, who loves his family like you do now, who looks for the best in people, and knows that each day you are loved by me. I am beyond honored to be your mommy whit. It is a gift I don't take lightly and a gift that can never be topped. I hope you always know how much daddy and I adore you. Happy 6th birthday little boy!
