Seven years and counting!

Zane turned seven today! He was very clingy, but we had a good day. Zane helped me make the fudge ribbon cake which we baked this morning. He helped ice it before we left for his physical. He is always going to be my big boy-52 inches and 85 pounds. The doctor always tells me you have a very healthy boy:) Grandpa Nicholson, Grandma/pa Skinner, and Connie and Brian, plus kids came for dinner and dessert at 5:30PM. Nice low key, Dad was early, we ate on time, and everyone was gone by 7:30PM! My kind of party! Things were somewhat cleaned up, Zane took a bath (so he could use his new sonic scrubber), and Darin was able to get caught up on his emails before we went to bed! A very successful birthday, including a good report for Six. She is healing nicely from her bite wounds. I think Zane enjoyed himself and everyone loved his birthday sidewalk paint on the apron outside the garage door. He starts first grade next Wednesday with Mrs. Burkett and I will have a new schedule at both schools, with a new principal at West. We are so blessed and I am so proud of Zane. It will always amaze me that Darin and I produced such a wonderful, kind, thoughtful, and loving boy. I pray the Lord will be gracious to Zane and us as we continue to teach him and love him everyday!
