Jaeden Turns 7, Doug Turns 146

It really does fly by ... those moments when babies are babies ... here one moment then gone forever. Though I celebrate every day what a wonderful little boy Jaeden has grown into, I am faced with the reality that my little pumpkin isn't so little anymore. In fact, he is quite tall  and growing more and more independent every day, needing me less and less.
If I dare try to pick him up  --- just because he is my baby after all --- it is like picking up a small adult. I can barely do it. Crazy. How did this happen? Just yesterday, we were celebrating his first birthday.  Hmm.
Now, he is 7. Gimmity Christmas.
Jaeden wasn't feeling totally well today so we let him have a day home from school. OK OK He was only home part of the day. Our nanny wanted to do something special with him for his birthday so she took him to Chuck E. Cheese for some pre-birthday-party festivities. And what better cure for a little cold then some fresh air?  Of course nothing so it only made sense that he spend some time outdoors at a park this afternoon.  Our new nanny, Kathy, is just awesome. I love her. The kids love her. It feels so wonderful to leave the children with someone you trust. What a God-send!!   
After both kids had a great afternoon nap, we all met up with some friends downtown for dinner. Our dear friend, Doug, shares the same birthday as Jaeden. (Believe it or not, that was planned.)  We tease Doug about being the oldest man in the world because of his quite handsome silver hair and goatee.  We all had a great time. The birthday festivities will continue throughout the week and weekend. We have guests coming in Friday night, more guests Saturday night and much partying to do to kick off Jaeden's 8th year on the planet.
I am posting some pictures we did a couple weeks ago at the studio testing out some new equipment that mimics window light. They are of Jaeden hamming it up for the camera.  He's something else, as you can see.
