...this mama tries to embrace the reality of the fact that her children are quite grown up! It's incredibly bittersweet to watch them grow. On the one hand, your *babies* aren't babies anymore (and I miss that) and on the other hand, it is *such* a blessing to be with them and watch them grow and mature!
Madelyn made chocolate chip pancakes...specially in honor of Jaxson's birthday...

Jaxson got some gifts from loved ones...
My Sci-Fi fan loves Tolkien books/movies too! Aunt Nen knew that! :)
He had an enjoyable birthday, I think. When I asked him what his favorite part of his birthday was, he said "All of it!". :) That makes this mama's heart glad. It was a simple day....nothing over-the-top...and he appreciated and loved all of it!
Thanks for taking the time to drop by and share in our celebration with us!
Warmly,
Katy
Happy Birthday! It is kind of bitter sweet... mine are 16, 18, and 22. Every year it gets a little easier (still hard) because it is so very rewarding to watch them grow and mature. I don't ponder the empty nest!!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWishing him many more happy birthdays.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest is 9 too! Ah it is bittersweet, but mostly sweet! Having grown up kids is a blessing, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tolkien shirt!
