Seven years...how fast time flies. We remember the anticipation and excitement of Blake's arrival, our first born. We knew there would be diapers to change (and, yes, we took classes on how to do that), lots of feedings and plenty of crying. We read the books, learned infant cpr, and had all the modern conveniences for babies. We were set. We were trained in the science of parenting...but not the art. Like most parents, we quickly learned that parenting is always evolving and takes years of practice. And since Blake is our first born, well, he gets most of that practice. While we always have the best intentions, we have made plenty of mistakes (and learned from them), but Blake loves us anyway. We are truly blessed.Blake was born an old soul and still is today. He prefers spending time outside, kicking around a soccer ball or hiking, enjoying the outdoors and just...contemplating. He's quiet (usually), kind (usually), exceptionally hard working, a good student and is the best big brother anyone could have. There is SO much for which to be proud and thankful. Happy Birthday, Blake! We love you!
