Mac's Birthday

June 27, 2010.  Mac's birthday.  What a day that was, I'll never forget.  Went into labor in the middle of Primary sharing time and rushed off to the hospital, concerned that he was coming four weeks early.

Mac has been looking forward to this birthday for weeks and weeks.  Craig told him that it would be his birthday as soon as the corn got up to his knees and he's been watching it faithfully.  He had pretty grandiose plans.  He told Craig that he needed to wash all his tractors and clean up the entire farm for his birthday, which slightly alarmed Craig.   He informed us that the entire house would need to be decorated.  And last week we visited the toy store and he had me take pictures of about thirty different toys that he planned to receive for his birthday.

Even despite potential disappointments (dirty tractors, only balloons for decorations - four of six which popped within half an hour of him waking up - and less than thirty toys for presents), it's been a grand day.  Right now Mac and Josh are over there playing with his new collapsible bridge.

I am so grateful for Mac in my life.  For this child I prayed.

Birthdays are the best.
