Today is my oldest son’s 7th birthday and I’ve been thinking back to the day he was born. For his first few birthdays, I felt kind of like, “hey, this should be about me too! I was the birth-giver after all!” (I even bought myself a present for his first birthday—my birth-of-a-mother present to myself). Now that I have had other children and as the years pass, his birthdays are pretty much now all about him. However, in honor of the occasion I updated his birth story with a number of pictures! And, I wanted to share a fresh picture of my seven year old on his birthday 🙂

A birthday hammer!

We went to ride go-karts on Sunday for a family birthday party. Look what a good driver he is--and how big to be able to drive one by himself!
