I honestly don’t know how it’s even possible.
One day I was pregnant, excited to be expecting a baby boy…………………..
and then I blinked…………….
and 10 years flew by.

We always celebrate birthdays. We make a big deal, eat cake, give presents and celebrate the day our children were born. And today, being my son’s 10th birthday, we will do just that. We will celebrate him, and we will remember that special day 10 years ago when God blessed us with the sweetest bundle of joy.
But yesterday will always be one of my favorite days. Surely I’ll remember his 10th birthday, but I have no doubt I’ll remember yesterday with a special kind of fondness for the rest of my life. Yesterday was my son’s last day of being 9…………it was his last day of being a single digit………and so we celebrated. We made a big deal. We did all of his favorite things – we went on a family bike ride, listened to his favorite songs in the car and ate his favorite dish (sweet potato chili fries) for dinner.
Birthdays, and really firsts of any kind, are great. We celebrate firsts all the time. First words, first steps, first days of school…………..but lasts are really special too. While I’m looking forward to celebrating his 10th birthday today, I’m really glad we took the time to make his last day of being 9 a day we will all remember with a smile.
These last 10 years have been the happiest years of my life!
Happy Birthday Collin! How wonderful life is while you’re in the world! That will always be my song to you.
So sweet—brought tears to my eyes. Happy Birthday Collin. Papa and Gigi love you…..
