Troy turns 7!

Dear Troy,

I can hardly believe that it's been seven years since you joined our family! You are such a blessing and make our life so fun and energetic! At church and at school you're such a shy little guy, but once you're comfortable with your surroundings, you're far from it! You love to hear the story of your birth. How scary it was for all of us and how you had to wear oxygen. You love to hear what a strong, brave baby you were and I love that. Even though you're the little brother to Tanner, you protect him and look out for him daily. When you and Penelope aren't fighting to the death, you two are the best of friends. I'm so thankful Tanner, Penelope and Lydia have you to look up to. Speaking of Lydia, you can't get enough of that little girl! You ask ALL the time to hold her and squeeze her. You're usually giving her too much love to the point where you get into trouble, but we really do love how much you love her! Daddy and I always laugh how you're our little "light switch". The moment you wake in the morning, you're bouncing off the walls and ready to start your day. You play ALL day outside with friends (playing star wars and nerf wars) until Mom calls you in for lunch and then finally dinner. You're the first one asleep each night and the first to rise! You love to tell me of all the crazy dreams you had each night and are our BEST eater. We're pretty sure you're going through a growth spurt with how much you eat. You're still waiting to lose a tooth and you go through a pair of shoes about every 2 months. We are FOREVER buying you new shoes. Happy 7th Birthday our Troy Boy. May this year be extra special, just like you!

Love,

Mom
