The Birthday Boy

My son turned 4 on Sunday.... at 6:08 AM to be exact. The day before LH, Hunter, and I went out to Otto's to pick up the sausages and dogs for the BBQ and it was such a beautiful day, we ended up having lunch there as well. They have a bunch of park benches out in front of their store so we got to sit and enjoy the sunshine. My sister, Becky, stayed the night on Saturday to help me set up and get ready on Sunday. She was such a great help. The only reason everything was accomplished was because of her. Thank you Becky!

LH and I went out in the afternoon on Sunday and bought Hunter some presents and had some nice time together before the party. We had decided to have a BBQ for our friends and family and LH did a great job grilling it all up. Some friends even made it out that we hadn't seen in a while and it was so nice to see their faces.

[This is the invitation that I designed]

I keep telling people about Hunter's birthday and how old he is, and every time I feel a twinge of sadness... He is growing too fast! Where is the pause button? I am even willing to rewind a year or two.... I want him to be my baby forever. To always fit right in my lap and tickle him awake every morning to "You Are My Sunshine".

I will cherish these days as they come to me and soak up every second I can with him.
