Celebrate

We had a blast watching Peyton at his Birthday party. He was so excited! After ice cream and cake he finally got to unwrap his gifts. After each gift he would run over to the person that gave him the gift and tell them thank you for my present. He was such a polite little guy. As he looked into gift bags and ripped open packages his little eyes would shine. I guess a boy can never have too many Thomas toys or at least Peyton doesn’t think so. He received so many fun gifts; he will keep Mom and Dad busy for hours just keeping batteries in them! We stayed to help clean up and carry all the goodies up stairs and to the car. Then it was time to say good by. We live about an hour away but it seems like more because everyone has such busy schedules. I attended a funeral today and my Dad said I wish people would come see me and visit like this while I am still alive to enjoy it. We get so busy and caught up in day to day living that we sometimes forget how important it is to make time for one another. I love you Peyton and I wish I could see you everyday! Hearing your little voice on the other end of the phone and seeing your pictures on Mommy's blog will have to do on the days I can't see you. I wish you were closer to your other Nana and Pop too. You’re a lucky little boy to have so many people who love you so very much!
