Happy 7th Birthday Brock!

Brock's birthday week began with a brand new headboard! Pretty cool custom find from Craig's List!

Monday, or Birthday Eve, poor Brock suffered a major fall from the top of our hardwood stairs. He landed JUST right on just about the same spot above his eye that he hit his dresser almost two years ago. When he finally was able to catch his breath after the fall and told me he couldn't see, I packed everyone up and ran out to Urgent Care to get him checked. It also had to happen the week Brent was working in Seattle!

He woke up the next morning to a very nice scrape, golf-ball size welt on his eyebrow, and PURPLE eyelid he could hardly open - Happy Birthday Brock! At least he was in good spirits!!

Still rocking the medical bracelet!

 All smiles on his birthday after school too!

Brock needed to take it easy after school that day, so out came the video game console. What a treat!

 A brand new bathing-suit from Mommy & Daddy!

More cards and gifts from Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents! One well-loved boy!

Carvel ice cream cake surrounded by the German birthday train from Aunt Katherin.

 .....I think our Carvel ice cream cake had melted at one point..... :(

What a fun birthday week!

Happy Birthday to our amazing 7 year old! 51 inches, 79 pounds - you're a big guy with a sensitive heart. I love how you are always thinking of your brother (After winter break journal entry - wrote that his favorite thing to do was play with his brother). You are doing amazing with your swimming - earning a spot on the Bronze swim team at Lifetime (after only 5 months on the Developmental team). Your reading has come a long way as your confidence builds! You amaze us with your number memory and math skills. Ask Brock how many pieces any Lego set has (or how much it costs) and he'll be your guy! You are doing a great job with so many things and I love watching you learn more! Happy Birthday Brock!

Not bad penmanship for a leftie!! ;)
