This week has been all about Cole and his 4th birthday.  Although he had his birthday party earlier in the week, of course we had to celebrate on his birthday, too!  He had fun from beginning to end, including a special daddy adventure, and visits from Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie Noelle and Uncle Bill.  Since it was his birthday, we put candles on his remaining cake and had him blow them out, again!  For him, the magic was no less than it was the first time.  For myself, however, I think it was even more so.  On the kids’ birthdays I always take time to remember the incredible blessing of their births—such joyous experiences that still leave me in awe of the little lives that now make up our family.  While Cole’s birth was amazing and joyous, the events, and especially the emotions, that quickly followed tend to overshadow that first memory.  To remember that and to see him now—healthy and happy—is overwhelming.  Happy birthday, sweet Cole.  We love you more than you can possibly imagine!
