Today was Stephen's birthday. Just as the year he was born we celebrate the day after the feast. Its hard to believe that 6 years has gone by since God blessed my life with his, renewed my chances at motherhood, and asked for my trust back once again. In these six years, God has taught me to trust Him fully, with all our children, but started with this blessing of our first born son, Stephen Andrew ~ all 7lbs. 6 oz. and 20 1/2 inches of baby boy. He has grown into a fine boy, one that is inquisitive, fun, loving, sweet, humble and cuddly. He desires to do what is right, wants to be humble, loves Jesus (who lives in his heart), tries his hardest, loves school, and is a great big brother. We are so blessed to have him as our son. I can't wait to see what this year holds for him and to watch him continue to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.
We celebrated his birthday this year at my Dad's house, on Thanksgiving. I made him a special cake, we sang to him and he was able to open a couple of gifts from Great Granddad and Grammy Pat, Granddad and Grandmama, Christiana and Caleb.
Today, November 25, we started the day with cereal as that is what he wanted to eat, opened presents from Mom and Dad, Grandpa Steyaert, Scottie, Great Grammy Jo, and Grandma Mari and Tim. He was totally into Star Wars this year so I made him a Star Wars cake that we ate the night before. Peter and Grandpa Steyaert took him out to fly the toy plane for a while this afternoon and Shaun, Scott and I went for a walk. We took him out to dinner at CiCi's~ his favorite, and his buddy Michael and his family joined us. It was a good night.
Happy 6th Birthday, Stephen!!
