8 is great!

Eight years ago today, my life changed forever. And it's all been a blessing ever since. This boy is a joy to our family. He is best friends with his dad and has a soft spot in his heart for his mom. He is the first grandchild on both sides...and though, none will admit it, he might be the favorite :) He is super smart (thanks mom), super athletic (thanks dad) and he has a kind heart. He is adventurous and fun. He loves to play and read. He is in "running club" after school and has run 43 miles in the last few months! Payton, you make us so proud. You are sensitive and emotional (please don't mention the words d-o-g or d-o-d-g-e-r) but also super tough and fun to be around. He is a friend to all, even his sisters most days. Love you buddy, can't believe you're 8. Congratulations, you made it! Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday to Payton! I can't believe you have an 8 yr old! Oh my gosh, Ava will be 8 in just two years :/

so handsome! If he's anything like his mom, I imsagine he's one sweet sweet little boy! Is it so weird to think you have a child old enough for baptism? Meg's is a year away, and it's baffling to me. Why must they grow sooo darn fast!
