Five!

On May 23, our sweet little Owen turned five and I can hardly believe it!  Where on earth does the time go?  It seems like just a few months ago I saw my darling first born son for the first time and was overwhelmed with the joy of being a mother.  And now, here he is starting school in the fall.  Although I cry every time I think about my days of having him home with me all day every day coming to an end, I also have to say that it has been SUCH a joy to watch this boy grow, mature, and learn and I know he is more than ready for school.  Oh, how I am going to miss him, though!!!  We are so incredibly proud of who God has created this little boy to be!  But back to his birthday...

Since we took him to Disneyland earlier this spring, we didn't plan a big party this year.  Instead, we threw up a few decorations, ate a Star Wars cake, unwrapped some Star Wars presents, played at the park, and went to Red Robin for dinner.  And let me tell you, it was actually quite a fun birthday for all of us.  Also, since I didn't have a party for him, I took exactly 5 pictures of the day, none of which turned out very well.  But I figured I at least needed to document what he looked like on his 5th birthday.  So here he is, the birthday boy...
