Today is Logan’s 8th birthday. Here’s how his special day went:

• We started off the celebrations by attending Broncos Training Camp (which he quickly tired of…but we made the effort anyway). We left just before the real practices got going and the heat cranked up.
• Then we came home and made his cake. Logan insisted on baking and decorating the cake himself (with a little help). It was a chocolate cake with white chocolate frosting. We decorated it with a guitar using Twisler’s candy.
• We had a little party at my mom’s house with her daycare kids (the family get-together is next Friday). We gave him his big present there…a new iPod Shuffle (just what he asked for and he hasn’t taken it off since we got home and loaded it). He also got a Black Spiderman costume, some new Spy Gear, headphones, a wallet, some cash, and a couple of other toys (not a bad haul).
• Tonight will be fairly quiet and then he’s taking his mom to a movie tomorrow.

I can’t believe he’s already 8 years old! Seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.

I love every one of my kids…no matter how much I complain about them (which is too much). Logan has a heart of gold…compassion that makes me a little envious. And he’s had such a heavy cross to bear so far in his 8 years. I don’t know what plans God has in store for him, but they must be truly amazing!
