Seven!

Seany boy is again turning another corner in age - lucky 7!

We really had a blast in the last week with Sean and his birthday celebration. It started in Friday morning at 500 am when Jenn and I woke to take on the day. We had some coffee, grabbed a few of his gifts, and had Amber join us in getting ready for our tradition for birthdays in this house...

Amber, Jenn, and I went into Seans room and prayed for Gods blessing on his birthday. Next we woke him by signing happy birthday. What came next was even extra special. I asked Sean if he wanted to accept Jesus into his heart and he smiled and said "yes!" We then, together, repeated a prayer which gave Sean the opportunity to profess Christ as his savior and his family had the delight to witness it. He did it with confidence and humility...

As we all went downstairs we did our usual and prepared pancakes as part of the tradition. And yes, place a candle upon the stake of hotcakes and again sang his birthday out.

Gifts we presented from everyone and very special ones: his own tackle box for fishing, his first knife, and a red rider bb gun presented from the grandparents!
Sean unwrapped the BB Gun!

Ready to bust out a few shots!


We are so grateful to God for the precious gifts in our children. God bless you little man. We love you dearly and Happy Birthday!
