Grant is 10!
We celebrated Grant's 10th birthday yesterday. It was a fun morning despite the fact that he was getting over a stomach bug.
Because of the bug, our menu for the day changed. Rather than the cupcakes we were going to eat from Edgars, Grant got a birthday cookie he wasn't quite up to eating for his candles.
Instead of going out to eat at his favorite restaurant, he ate this...
But he still had a great day. He still smiled a lot, especially when he found out that we would take the trip he really wanted for his milestone birthday.
He was showed lots of love by his friends with surprise treats and phone calls. When he went to bed he said, "I wish this day didn't have to end, it was really good, even with a stomach bug." Sure do love that kid. Happy Birthday, Grant!

My boy
There are days that I look at my life and am just overwhelmed by the blessings it holds. This week we celebrated Grant's eighth birthday and in this post I want to celebrate him! Just looking at him, fills my heart with joy. Here are some of the reasons why...
He has a love of learning.
I love his green eyes that are just like mine.
I love that he is not afraid to be himself, just like his dad.
I love that when he reads he never just passes by a word he doesn't understand.
He is the protector of his cousins and loves them dearly.
I love how he looks like a surfer dude in the summer with his blonde hair and great tan.
He loves his family.
I love his tender heart.
I love his quirky sense of humor.
He has a spirit of contentment.
I love that he sticks to a task until it is all the way finished.
He is an observer and he doesn't miss the details.
I love his hugs.
Sometimes he is really silly.
He is an encyclopedia of Nascar information.
I love how he prays almost every night for the men at the Firehouse shelter and "for the poor people of the world to have what they need and for them to especially find Jesus because He is what they need most."
I love that he likes U2 and Rich Mullins.
He loves Animal planet.
He makes sure that everything recyclable goes into the recycle bin.
He loves calculators, watches, and maps.
I love how kindly he treats his dog.
He doesn't take things at face value- he asks questions until he understands.
He is loyal.
He fits the meaning of his name- "God's great gift".
Happy Birthday Grant!
