The night before his first kid birthday party to celebrate his upcoming 5th birthday, Sean was excited beyond words. After we put him to bed, he jumped up and ran into the hall and told us:
"I'm so excited, my stomach is tickling!"
I swear it doesn't get any better than that...the innocence, the excitement, the sheer joy of life.
I probably won't be around too much this week; we are trying to savor this last week of summer and do some fun things together as a family. Enjoy!
