Happy Birthday Wes-Man

Well, the countdown is over. Wesley turned 7 today......as he informed be bright and EARLY this morning. It is our family tradition for everyone to gather around the person celebrating their birthday and wake them by singing Happy Birthday. I don't think we have been able to do this to Wes since he turned 2. He gets so excited, he is always up before the crack of dawn. We will be meeting some of his friends for lunch and fun at a place called Kids World. Pizza, loud games needing tokens, tunnels, indoor playgrounds - all the stuff kids love and moms endure because kids love.

I talked to Maggie, Wesley's birthmom, this morning. I know this is a tough day for her. Wesley got his birthday wishes from her and I once again, got the opportunity to feel grateful for the hard decision she made to let us adopt him.

So thank you Maggie - and Happy Birthday Wes. You are so loved.
