It has been a big year for Cole; there have been a lot of transitions and adjustments that he has handled incredibly well.  He is such a wonderful little boy—he has the sweetest personality and is incredibly generous and kind.  He has become a great big brother and is very attentive and sweet to his little sister.  He is also always very patient with all the things that Franny gets to do.  For all these reasons, I really wanted to give him a ‘big kid’ party and a big day just for him.  Today, Cole and about ten little friends joined him for pizza, cake, and fun at Pump It Up.  His anticipation and excitement was unmistakable—especially once his Auntie Noelle started decorating his John Deere cake.  I wanted him to feel extra special and I am quite sure we succeeded—the look on his face when we brought him his cake and sang Happy Birthday reflected exactly that.  The little boy who has been constantly in the shadow of Franny, the oldest, and Delaney, the youngest, had a big day just for him.  Happy birthday, Cole!
