Happy Birthday Jonathan!

It’s so hard for me to believe Jonathan is nine today. Where have the years gone?

Jonathan is such a sweet and lovable kind of guy—always so conscientious about the needs and feelings of others. He can usually be found devouring a book, beating someone in Scrabble, working on crafts or doing a puzzle.

I could go on and on about how really, truly great he is . . . but THIS is why I refrain.

This picture is of him and his new birthday puppy, Cody Jack.

Happy Birthday, Jonathan! You make my heart so happy and I'm abundantly blessed to be your mom!

God has blessed you with a wonderful and tender spirited child. I know the type first hand. It's so hard not to brag.

It is my prayer for Jay that he will be used in mighty ways as the Lord moves in his young life. May he continue to develope all that God has placed within him to reach this world and change it for His glory. I know God has a wonderful plan and purpose for his life :)

(Hey, didn't you like the name Cody for Nicholas?)

Ginger—good memory! Yes, "Cody" was my first choice for Nicholas, and "Jack" was David's . . . "Nicholas" was a compromise. : )

What a cutie! Although at 9 he probably doesn't want to hear that. I pray that he keeps that tender heart well into high school. There are so many boys even at this age that try to act all macho and its just not cool. Happy Birthday Jonathan and may you always keep a tender heart, a deep love for God's creation, and your eyes on the Lord. Here's to another wonderful year!!!

Man he does look so much older. I hope he had a wonderful birthday. I called hoping he got it but I know ya'll were probably celebrating or at ESOAL (Either one would have been fun for him). Well please tell him I miss him and hope that it was a good birthday. Lulu

Ahhh, what a sweet kid. He has grown up a lot since last years picture. Wow, they grow up too fast, don't they.

It's so surreal! How can these kids be getting so old? We'renot, right?
I keep meaning to answer a comment you put on my Xanga... if you still have them, I love to have your baby bathtub and stuff from Nicholas...
As for my new look, I just went to Themes and picked one... I am SOOO incompetent at all this stuff! But I would still love to come over and visit some day!! Let me know what works for you.

What a handsome fella! He sure grew up in one year!
What a blessing to have such a great son. I hope he had a wonderful time turning nine. :)
