Blake is 7!

Happy 7th birthday to our baby boy!!  He will forever be our baby boy, irregardless of how old or tall he is ;)  As it is, I feel like he is almost as tall as me :s  He grew up so fast ... literally!!  Such a tall boy for his age.  But I still cuddle him up in my lap and he still enjoys sitting in my lap from time to time.  I'm soaking it up every opportunity I get.

Blake, you bring so much joy to our lives, we love you to pieces!!  You are an awesome big brother to your little sisters and an amazing son, grandson, nephew, classmate and friend :)

You are doing so well in school, making us so very proud!  You are doing fabulous with reading in French and have recently started reading in English!  You've picked up English all on your own and have surprised not only your Dad and I but also yourself.  We often praise you in one thing or another and you shrug it off or act embarrassed and want us to stop but when you read your first English book, we could tell you were really proud of yourself.  As you should be!  You thought that because you were learning French, you would not be able to read in English until it was actually taught to you, but low and behold (and as any French Immersion educator will tell you happens), you picked up on English!  You love math and science and art and DPA (daily physical activity - I believe this is what we old folks called 'Gym'!!).  You enjoy school and love all your friends!  Your love for sports continues - hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, ball hockey, etc, etc!  You're playing organized soccer for the first time this year and loving every minute!

Thank you so much Blake for bring a smile to our faces and a putting a song in our heart, each and every day.  Every minute is a blessing with you and every day we thank our lucky stars for bringing YOU to us.

xoxo
Mom and Dad
