Liam’s birthday was last Wednesday, and he finally turned SEVEN! He’s been telling everyone he was “six and eleven twelfths” for the last month, while I’ve been saying “almost seven.” He’s now over four feet tall (he’s grown almost two inches since Lori was born)! It’s hard to believe, but I guess that’s what happens when you keep feeding them.

We’ve been celebrating all week with friends and family, including a TaeKwonDo party at TopKick. Liam asked his friends to bring donations for Toys For Tots instead of gifts for himself (it wasn’t his idea, but he embraced it enthusiastically), and everyone was SOOoooo generous! Yesterday we dropped off a grocery cart FULL of toys and books so that other kids might be as happy as Liam is this time of year! He continues to grow into the intelligent, responsible, loving person we’ve always known he would. Keep it up, Liam, and Happy Birthday!
