Happy 8th Birthday, DJ!

Our oldest son DJ turned 8 years old last week! He wanted to celebrate his birthday at Funny Island. It's the same place Noah went to for his birthday a few months ago. We had a fun night. I don't have any pictures to share from Funny Island because they all have shots of his friends, and I haven't had a chance to ask their parents if they mind me posting them. Here are some pictures of the birthday boy.

DJ's birth mom loved him so much. He was born in Portland, Oregon.

DJ's first birthday. What a cutie! DJ's Grandma Loree and Grandpa Larry took such good care of him. They are a very special part of his life.

Such a happy boy! DJ has lived with us since he was 4 years old. We believe God pieced together our family and blessed us with such a special kid.

We have a little tradition of looking at the birthday boy's baby books and photo albums.

DJ is showing his baby pictures to Noah.

The Commissary made a pretty nice jet cake! We should've gone out in town, but our kids aren't too crazy about Italian pastries.

Thanks to all our family for the thoughtful birthday gifts. DJ is working on his Thank You cards in between all of his homework!

Happy Birthday, DJ! We love you!!!
