Adventure...

9 candles.

(well, not quite, we were missing two and one broke)

Tender hearted & thoughtful.

I love this photo of him dancing with a little girl at Katie's wedding (Y-M-C-A dance.) Particularly, since I tried soooo hard to get him out there to dance many times...he was too shy. Guess he was just waiting for the right girl to ask him.

He gets lost in his thoughts A LOT. If we are out for a hike anywhere near woods and/or water, he is off into his own little world most of the time.

I told him this morning that 9 years ago today, God apparently thought my life was just too dang dull. So, what does God do? Sends me Robert. And thus began the most...
messy, loud, unpredictable, heart-stopping, and crazy head-over-heels love. My Robert is nine years old. I can't believe it. And, if it weren't for this little strawberry-blonde, freckle-faced boy, I would of missed out on one of the best adventures of my life!
Happy Birthday Robert...I love you to the {Sun} and back.
