Slater's Birthday

Today is my Slater's 9th birthday. He is super excited, getting Legos and Star Wars figures this morning. It is almost like Christmas around here on birthdays, because we wrap the presents and leave them out on the dining room table the night before.....they wake up early to see how many gifts are there. Now that the kids are older, they buy for each other, so it looks like quite a pile!! I can't believe how time flies. He was only 18 months old when we moved to Tennessee. How can it be that he is 9!! Surely I am not getting older too?? Hee...hee!! He has been playing baseball and is enjoying the time in the dugout with the other guys. He is quite a talker. (Just like his Daddy!!). He enjoys his baseball "community." I will say that I enjoy community as well. I've noticed as we are older how our friends are our kids friends parents!! We enjoy community, and it often rallies around a common interest, kids, ministry, or our jobs. Here is to community today!!! And to my special middle child who is always full of drama!!
