If I can just get him to 5...

Ever since Landon was a baby I would tell Larry, "If I can just keep him alive until he's 5 I'll be amazed!" He was always putting things in his mouth, climbing on things and somehow always putting himself in some sort of danger. Every time I tucked him into to bed I would thank God for keeping him safe one more day. So now that 5 has arrived, I can rest a little easier? Not if Landon has his way! He continues to challenge his guardian angel and keep me on my toes. My little guy is full of energy, loving and caring, funny and a blessing. Every year that passes he continues to surprise and amaze me.

This past weekend we had his 5th birthday party. It was a great day and by far his best birthday yet! We were joined by two other families (Landon's 2 best friends) and spent the day at the Glessener Mühlenhof. We started with brunch and since 5 year olds don't sit long, we quickly moved outside. Pony rides, zip line, Kettler cars, hay stakes and underground tunnels, kept the boy entertained for hours! Yes, hours. For 4 hours they laughed and chased each other around only briefly stopping for birthday cake. The boys cried as we left because they didn't want the day to end.

So Happy Birthday to my sweet Landon! May the Lord bless and protect you for yet another year and I pray your guardian angel never takes a vacation!
