He's Seven!

My oldest boy turned 7 this past week.  It is amazing when I reflect back on life that he has been here for 7 years.  It is amazing that Steven and I have been parents for 7 years.  And it is amazing that the Lord choose to bring this amazing miracle boy into our lives 7 years ago.  I stand in awe as I remember his coming into the world.  Praise be to God, and may we raise him in a manner worthy of his goodness.  What a great young man he is shaping up to be.  May we continue to train him to love and fear the Lord.

He got his very own pocket knife.  "We" deemed 7 was a good age.  He has to pass lots of Daddy safety tests before he ever gets it on his own!

Nanna took charge of the cake making this year.  What a relief that was to me!

We went with a minion theme.

It was a cold windy morning....

...but the boys didn't seem to mind!

Nana wasn't quite as big a fan though.

It was a special day for him, and that is what we wanted!

Steven spied some fishermen with fish during the party and decided to make an afternoon of it!

Dinner for the family.  This guy did the filleting.
