Miles X 7: Birth Week 2015

Seven.

Seven?!

Wow. Yeah. Seven.

So….

Off we went to get balloons….lots and lots of balloons….

   

And LEGO sets and bags of quarters to spend in the prize machines…

We made and procured his favorite feasting foods….

   

And squeezed him into the car for a special birthday picnic…

Then it was time for the Birth Week Outing at Nickel City and Pizza Pie Cafe

 

He was spotlighted, measured, and most of all, loved. :)

    Happy Birthday, Mi-Mi!

What we love about Miles

Daddy loves…

that Miles likes to go run errands and hang out with him, that he’s a mischievous teaser, and his smile

Mama loves…

that he always makes sure my feelings are okay, he gets so excited about little things, and his imagination.

Bennett loves…

that he likes to play with him, that he likes to include everybody, and that he’s usually happy.

 

And So It Begins…

So began the first day of school, and so began the free flow of my tears.
