9 reasons I love you...

My boy Holden turns 9 today. I can't even believe it. Nine years he has graced this world with his presence. He is such a wonderful boy whom we are so proud of!

Holden...since you are 9 I thought I'd write 9 reasons that I love you.

1. You wear your heart on your sleeve.
2. You have always been such an old soul. I love that about you!
3. You are kind and thoughtful.
4. You are a very loving son.
5. You care about things bigger than yourself...like how other people are feeling and how we take care of our planet.
6. You are adventurous.
7. You are goofy.
8. You are honest.
9. Most of all I love you for all that you are and all that you will be!

We are looking forward to a busy but great day! It is a gorgeous day outside. Holden thinks that it was Beckett's gift to him. I think so too buddy:)

At this stage in Holden's life, he is very self conscious. He is reserved. He gets embarrassed easily. Therefore, pictures are very hard to come by, let alone good ones. So, here a couple of the best ones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLDEN! We love you so much:)
