Birthdays

We have the party themes set. Cameron is having a pool party and Alex is having a sleepover game night. They should both be fun. Of course, Cameron is jealous of Alex, but that seems to be the norm lately. He's jealous of everyone and thinks people should be jealous of him when he does stuff. Where does this thinking come from?

As they turn 8 and 16 many memories come to mind. Alex was Cammy's age when he was placed with us. So much has happened in the past 8 years with both of them. I've watched Alex grow (taller than me) physically and mature so much mentally. He's looking forward to his birthday so he can look for a job. Cameron, well...he's come through so much. They are both my miracle boys, but Cameron truly has had to fight for his life. It's hard to believe the kid who doesn't stop was ever so sick. Can you imagine him on oxygen now? He'd have the tube all over the place making barriers!

Birthdays are always so nostalgic. It's great to look back at all the blessings God has granted us with these two boys. Of course, God has quite a sense of humor, too!
