Brady's 8th Birthday - May 15th

Brady's 8th birthday was on a Sunday this year, so we were able to be at home and celebrate with him! He was so excited to turn 8; we've been counting down the days for quite some time. :) We enjoyed some early morning birthday doughnuts, family time at worship, birthday lunch at Baumhower's restaurant, then cake and presents at home. (Including birthday spankings at the end of the day from his dad. The picture is at the end of the post.) His big birthday gift was a ripstik (kind of like a skateboard). He's been asking for one for a while, and now he can skate like a pro! I love Brady's kind and compassionate heart. He truly empathizes with those around him and seeks to serve where ever possible. Brady sees what needs to be done, and he does it. Outside work, inside work, cleaning, cooking, taking care of brothers, Brady does it all! I am so proud of this special young man. We love you, Brady!
