Happy Birthday, Declan!

Declan turned 7 yesterday. He is holding his birthday cake candle and I guess there is a cat behind him on the stairs. OOPS! We are having his big birthday parties on Saturday. One party in the afternoon for his friends and then one in the evening for the family and our friends. We were going to take him out to supper on his birthday last night, but he wanted to do his last night of roller hockey instead. The birthday dinner is postponed until Sunday or Monday. He has been so excited for his birthday this year and has been counting down all month. I know I have said this before, but it is so neat when your kids are old enough to understand the day is all about them. Declan can read pretty well now and can read a calendar which made a huge difference for him this year. He has grown so much this year in 1st grade and I cannot belive this school year only has 1 more day.
