Our George ‘s birthday was yesterday. It started out a little off, John and I forgot it was George’s birthday…till about 9am. Whoops, sorry sweet George! In our defense, we are not celebrating it with the family till this Sunday. I guess that’s no excuse.
So the big kids and I tried to make up for it the rest of the day with a homemade birthday banner and using our emergency brownie mix to make a special afternoon treat. We invited the Hogans over and all enjoyed brownies and ice cream before dinner. Grandma came over too with a balloon and sugar cookies. So fun!
George has been such a blessing in our lives. He is just so sweet, always smiling and brings joy to whoever’s around. When he was 7 months old, I took him and my Mamama (grandmother) to Indiana to visit my uncle who was recovering from an accident that left him with some brain injury. Needless to say it was a emotionally hard time for my uncle and his wife, they were trying to manage doctor’s visits an hour and a half away and just dealing with life differently now. When the three of us came up to help out, I totally feel like George did the most. He was like bringing a bottle of joy to them – a perfect distraction. And that’s just the kind of little guy he is and we can’t wait to see what the next year will bring.
Our salute to Georgie…
