adam

what i wouldn't give for just one more day of Adam like this....not because now, being 11, isn't wonderful, because it is, but the squishy cuteness of age three is pretty amazing, and even though i really feel like i savoured those days they passed in a whirlwind like a thunderstorm that blows through on a summer day.  here and gone before you know it. 

yes, Adam was next in line for the string of August/September birthdays and it was a joy to celebrate him this week.  as i told him, more than ever he's reminding me of his dad.  he makes me laugh out loud so unexpectedly.  he has a heart of compassion and this is especially evident in his gentleness with small children.  he would be a fantastic primary teacher~ if i didn't think he'd be an even better engineer, that is...he is such a thinker and always inspiring me with the way he can assemble or disassemble something or problem solve when something isn't working right.  he is great with his youngest brother (especially) and i love to watch him play in the pool with AJ or read him stories.  good for my heart...can't wait to see what the future holds for him.  Adam Jeffrey~ we love you loads!!!  hope your birthday was fun and your upcoming year even better!

oh, and nice "six packs" boys.  i can kind of make them out...maybe i just needed to zoom in a bit more...
