Kyle turned SIX (6) today, and by all accounts he had a GREAT Day.
We had a family Birthday Party last weekend, with Uncle Sean, Aunt Laura, Alyx, Sean Andrew, Aunt Mary, Aunt Rita, Pop-Pop and Grandmom ("who live next to us", as they're known).
It was a lot of fun and Kyle loved being the center of attention.
Kyle had a great week this week building up to a countdown to Friday - his BIRTHDAY!
Kyle, Dylan and Ashley all helped Mom make Cupcakes for his school friends - and he was very attentive to make sure that everyone who wanted one got a cupcake (and a birthday goodie bag!).
Here are some pictures for this week...
It would be impossible to describe the last year and all that's happened...but...
Kyle has grown into a wonderful, generous, handsome, caring little boy. It's been magical to watch how he has really embraced his important job as big brother. He looks after both Dylan and Ashley and he really enjoys his role.
He continues to do well in school and makes lot of friends wherever he goes. He and Dylan took a break from Goddard School this year and went to "Y" Camp over the summer. They both had a GREAT time - they were very sad that the summer ended - they were in the same group and still miss it, even as school has started up for the fall.
It really does seem like yesterday when we were getting ready to leave for Beijing to meet Kyle for the first time and welcome him to our family - wondering what it would be like.
Sometimes, looking back, I wish I knew then what I know now.
But that would have taken away all of the wonder and pure joy of watching how it all has unfolded.
Happy Birthday Kyle. We can imagine our family without you.
Love Mom & Dad
