"Now We Are Six"

Gavin is 6!
This is what he chose to do upon first waking up.

Cinnamon bread French Toast and cocoa for breakfast.

I put in a trick candle so it kept re-lighting. Very fun!
We finally had to put it in water so the fire alarm wouldn't go off!

When I was One,
I Had Just Begun.
When I was Two,
I was Nearly New.
When I was Three,
I was Hardly Me.
When I was Four,
I was not much More.
When I was Five,
I was Just Alive.
But now I am SIX,
I'm as Clever as Clever,
So I think I'll be Six now forever and ever!
A.A. Milne (author of Winnie-the-Pooh)

I would be happy for my sweet boy to be six forever and ever.

Gavin was born at 4 a.m. 6 years ago in Clovis.
He was my hardest baby to have but that was because
he was a whopping 9 lbs. 13 oz. and 22 1/2 in.!

Gavin is so much fun! He loves to play and laugh.
Gavin is so very affectionate. He loves hugs and kisses.

I recently came across a letter that Jacen wrote to Gavin when he was a baby--close to 1 year.
Jacen says, "Me and you love to play with each other. I am interested in what you'll be like in the future. I hope you're a lot like me when you're older. I love you so much! You're the best and the cutest. I love you!!!!"

Isn't that sweet?
I need to read that when they are sometimes at odds with each other.

Gavin is such a blessing to our family.
Happy Birthday!!
