Today is Elliott's 8th birthday. I can't believe that my little boy is that old already!
Matigan got her hair cut - short - yesterday. We were simply tired of dealing with the tangles. I think it looks so cute. We had to go out in the rain yesterday, and she ran for the store saying "My new hair can't get rained on!!"

Where does 8 years go? Doesn't seem like it was that long ago when we were anticipaing the birth of our first baby. We hadn't found out what we were having, and it was probably a full 5 minutes after he was born - because they took him right away to clean him up and check him out - before the doctor asked us "You knew what you were having, right?" We were so excited when he announced "It's a boy!" Life since that time has held many changes, challenges, and especially joys. I love the boy that Elliott is growing up to be. Not that each day doesn't bring some turmoil, but I can see him growing up with such a great sense of humor, a kindness for people and animals, and a love of sports. So happy birthday to our "little guy." We are so proud of you and what you are teaching us as parents.
