Happy 6th Birthday, Liam!

Today is Liam's 6th birthday.  We can't believe how quickly the time has flown.  We had his 'friend' birthday party on Saturday at a place called Shakers Fun Centre.  Unlimited laser tag, climbing wall, arcade games and other fun things for him, Emily and 7 of his buds to do.  Yesterday was party number two with Todd's parents and today (his official birthday) is the four of us celebrating him.

A few ways to describe the little man:
  • Strong-willed - very hard to sway which will hopefully serve him well 
  • Affectionate - will run over and give hugs
  • Athletic - the kid can skate, play soccer, climb, throw a football like no other
  • Great appetite - "he has a palate of a 40 year old", some of his favorites: mussels, calamari, shrimp, "fat meat", vegetables
  • Helpful - makes mommy and daddy's coffee on the weekend; keeps his room pretty tidy
  • Energetic - on the go, go, go and the questions!
  • Bright - good at math, likes to spell and learn new things
We are very proud of our son and look forward to the years ahead and all he will do.
