Happy 8 Year Old - Happy Day

  • J - jumping, jostling, and jigging like crazy - you definitely move to the music inside you!
  • A- appetite is huge for oatmeal, macaroni & cheese, Ramen, cereal, & hot chocolate, amen.
  • M- making paintings, making drawings, making Lego sculptures - you definitely have an artistic flair!
  • E- energetic, ever full of life, and ever full of ideas - all of it, ever bubbling over.
  • S- silly sometimes, yet deeply spiritual. Your great spirit can't be summed up in the things you do here - there is SO much more to you that what we see & hear.
Happy 8th Birthday, James!
We weren't sure if you'd make it home in time for your birthday, but we're awfully glad that you did.
  • You complained a lot about it being your 8th birthday.
  • You were afraid that you wouldn't get any toys - only scriptures, but you were thrilled to get both, after all.
  • Tonight was hard.
  • Lithium + birthday excitement = huge tremors.
  • It was hard for us to watch, and it was probably harder for you to experience.
  • For all that life has handed to you - the blessings and the trials - we wish for you, more than a happy birthday . . . but also a happy lifetime.
  • Congratulations on 8 full years, and here's to the many, still to come.
  • We love YOU, JAMES!
