Happy Birthday Taiji!!

So continues the month long birthday bash!! Today, tax day, 1998 Taiji Lee VanDalen made his way into the world! From the stories I've heard Shane had to make several work stops on the way to the hospital...typical!! Taiji is a very sweet, kind hearted, sensitive boy! He has a ton of friends all of which would claim that Taiji is THEIR best friend! He came in to my world when he was just 4 1/2. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be his mom!! I love you Taiji...Happy Birthday! Birthday Boy!! The big double digits- 10!
As explained in an earlier post...the boys usually get the same thing for their birthdays so we stretched out the opening of gifts!! They were pretty excited for a new game to put in their new DS!!
Kali and I made a run to Micky D's for a little lunch surprise for the boys. Truman's b-day is in the summer so I brought him some too!
And of course a little sweet treat for the class!

Happy Birthday Taiji!

What an awesome gift you were given nearly 5 1/2 years ago. God new your heart was big enough to share your love with those two boys. What a great Blessing from God, and what an awesome responsibility He has given you.

I bet you love nothing more than to surround yourself with all of your children - to spend as much time with them as you can, to love them, to teach them, to nurture them, and to watch them grow.

How truly blessed you are.

Birthday bonanza out west! Sheesh, drink a glass of wine and relax already.

By the way, somehow your blog got off my favorites hence, my lack of commenting.

Love ya even if I forgot you for a few days. :)
