Pool Party: Saturday, August 8, 2009.
Actual Birthday: Sunday, August 9, 2009.
Celebration at Papa's House: Monday, August 10, 2009.
Darn it. I was just looking through my pics to decide which ones to post and realized that I hardly took any. Blast! Well, I'll post two from his birthday and then a couple of other random shots.
Uh, is somebody excited to open his presents??
There aren't many things better in the world than to watch a young child opening a present, discovering what the present is and just being full of glee and happiness.
Here's the "old guy" taking a rest from jumping on Uncle James and Aunt Shelley's trampoline. He's not as young and vibrant as he was back when he was 4. This guy has always, always been a jumper. Even before he could really walk, he would jump, jump, jump around the apartment back in Chicago. He loves the (hideous) red couch in my front room because it's "bouncy like a trampoline." Beds, couches, floors...it doesn't matter. Just as long as he can jump.
One of the presents that Beeju got was a long alphabet puzzle. Now one of his favorite games to play is having me mix up and hide the puzzle pieces to see if he can find them and put them all together. This shot is him measuring himself to see "how many letters" tall he is.
There is nobody on this earth that I would rather sit and hang out with than my Beeju. He's my best friend. Whether in person or on the phone, we can chat endlessly about this and that and everything in between. Happy birthday, Champ! I love you like crazy and can't wait 'til our next conversation.

Shazam, that boy is getting too many letters tall!! They just grow so fast. I can't wait to hear what he thinks about school. He's a smart one that nephew of mine ;)
Man he is growing so fast! Can't wait to be there and let Olivia hang out with her cousins! She just turned 4 and started pre-school this week. Gives me a lump in my throat to see how fast she is growing too.
