5 on 5: special edition

the photography project i started doing last month just happened to fall on a very special day this month.....

our sweet owen turned the big 7 years old today!

and he received a very lovely birthday present......strep throat.

ugh.

so a special birthday party with a few friends had to be canceled (major bummer--so sad to see him sad...)

celebrating at school will have to take place another day....

he is home today...and actually, i think he is enjoying the extra, extra love and pampering....

i, secretly, am happy to have him home too--more time for us to spend with him...

medicine is kicking in and he is perking up...hooray!

he certainly is a trooper--taking this all in stride...

my owen...

my first born...

on this day, you entered this world at 3:04 am......

you made me a mommy....

and changed my life for the better....

somehow we muddled through those first few months...trying to figure out this thing we call parenting...

getting to know you....

loving every minute of every new milestone...

watching you grow....with amazement and wonder....

looking forward to every milestone to come...

my sweet, lovable, bright, goofy, sensitive, thoughtful boy....

we love you so...

happy birthday, buddy!
