I can’t believe my little one, my youngest, my baby is now FOUR YEARS OLD. He is a big strapping boy and certainly seems four or even older in many ways but he is still my baby!
Happy Birthday Mr. Henry!
I don’t know if I have ever shared much about this on the blog, but we didn’t have our oldest child until we were nearly thirty. We married young but dealt with infertility issues for many years. Though many couples go through a more difficult journey to parenthood, the experience definetely shaped us and our faith. When Drew our oldest was born we felt so blessed and grateful. To have ONE wonderful boy after years of not getting pregnant was such a gift. We really thought he would probably be it and we were okay with that. But nearly five years later when Henry arrived, I can truly say we felt our cup was running over…and boy did it! Henry burst on the scene with so much personality and energy!
I can’t imagine our family without him and his Henry hugs! So I can’t help but get reflective at these milestones and be amazed at God’s blessings.
So we celebrated on Saturday with just a small family party (we were going to do a bigger party but got the dates mixed up and I never sent out the invites, oh well;;)…he helped sprinkles the cupcakes!
I have been hoarding these Target party supplies for a while! Poor boy will always have a red white and blue party being born in July!
Those cheeks! I love how my mom is looking at him in this picture below my SIL snapped and I love that he has his own camera in his hand!
And finally, Mr. Handsome in his “dune buggy” Daddy bought him. I am thinking we need a helmet!
I can’t believe he will be in Pre-K in just month or so…time truly does fly!
Henry Brooks we love you and you are our precious boy! We pray you grow into a big strong man that loves God and other people. You are your own person with a big personality and lots of charm. Lord help us shape him and train him for your glory!
