happy birthday harry

I picked Harry & Lucy up from school on Friday last.

As we were riding to the Chick-Fil-A.

for lunch,

I asked Harry what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday.

Without hesitation he replied,

"I want a fire-breathing dragon and eagle cake."

Oh my....

that is really going to be a challenge.

As you can see, he got just what he wanted.

Harry turned seven today

and what a day it was!

He was on television early this morning

saying the pledge of allegiance with his class.

He and his friend Alex,

who share the same birthday,

celebrated with cookies and cupcakes at school.

He and his family ate Mexican for lunch.

He had his first soccer practice,

and then came to our house for his favorite meal....

steak, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob,

prepared by his granddaddy.

We opened presents,

blew out candles,

sang Happy Birthday,

and just had a grand ole time.

I like the young man Harry is growing into....

Serious and sensible,

handsome,

with his dreamy eyes and dark complextion

full of energy,

with a real desire to learn and do well

He is caring and loving, and very, very charming.

His mom and dad gave him his first set of real golf clubs.

Thank you God for giving us Harry!
