It's Great to be Eight

Mike turned eight yesterday. I know it is a cliche, but where did the time go?

Michael has always been our laid back kid. He always goes with the flow and he is just nice. Now, that is not to say that he did not get a smidgin of the teasing gene, because he most certainly did.



Mike loves to be outside. He loves to camp, bike, swim, jump on the tramp, play baseball, anything you can do outside, Mike is there.




Another thing to note about Mike. . . GIRLS. I don't know what it is, but Mike is a girl magnent. For instance, my kids get to have BIG, invite your friends birthday party on significant birthdays, 8, 12, 16. . . . so this is Mike's first "real" birthday party. We sat down two weeks ago to make up the guest list. On it are 8 girl names . . . that's it. And they ALL came. I can't figure it out, but Mike has a lot of friends that are girls! Maybe this picture did shape his life?!?



Happy Eighth Birthday Mikey! We love you so much and are so glad you are in our family!
