Interview with a 6 year old

My little boy is 6!

I won't have any pictures in this blog...long story; but, since we're staying with friends that have their office in their home, for security reasons we can't get our personal laptop on the internet...so, we're using their computer (they are so gracious and share everything with us) and all of my pictures are on my laptop...  It's OK though, I decided that I'd tell you about the birthday party, and give you an interview with our new 6 year old!

Gwangi decided last fall that he really wanted his birthday party at the Cave of the Winds...he never wavered on this!  We had a large group of 22 friends and family meet us there...Aunt Kate, the Bartons, the Munsons, the Moores, the Edwards, the Joines.....what fun!!!!  The day started off with a cave tour and then the kids got to play in the bat cave, the climber's box and the Crystal Adventure where they were able to dig and then to fill a bag with crystals to keep!  We had pudding cups with sprinkles for dessert and exchanged a few gifts!  A great day!

On the way home, I (and the rest of the family piped in) started asking Gwangi some questions...here you go, your interview with a new 6 year old!

What was your favorite part of the party - presents!
What was your favorite present - the Lego Star Wars book

Love my boy so much!!!   He is so sweet and precious.  Hosanna said that if she could adopt one of my children, it would be the cute, double dimpled Gwangi!  He is super and 6 today!  Looking forward to a lunch date with the Moores at Chuck E. Cheese and dinner tonight at the Texas Roadhouse...Kids eat free on Mondays!

Oh, and glance back in time, 6 years ago....  I had a 2 year old on the 6th of April and thought I was going into early labor with my 2nd child.  We drank water, had me lay in bed on my side, and after several hours, we got it to stop.  My dear sister, Megan, came back from her 1st tour in the Middle East (she's on her 3rd now) and came to stay with us for a couple of weeks to help with Krypto while I had the baby...  He didn't show up.  Meg and I walked 3-5 miles a day, nothing....I went past my due date, Meg had to go home in a couple of days.  Mother's Day was May 8th, I was at church, wearing my new hair clip from my sister and over 40 weeks pregnant.  I kept getting the WHY ARE YOU HERE look and commentary!  On Monday, the 9th of May, I woke up with a migraine and not feeling so well...we called L&D and they said 'come on in'...we had him that night!  6 years ago today, on Monday the 9th of May, I had my 2nd little boy.  He was almost named Philip (after the disciple); but, after a bit of a scare with the cord and him not breathing, we were crying, and named him "Gift from God"....he really is our special present and we couldn't love him anymore than we do!  Well, we might love him MORE tomorrow and in the years to come...but, for today, we love him as much as we possibly can!  Thank you God for our special gift!
