Spectacular number seven!!

Look at this sweet face...

For seven years, I've been the blessed mama that gets to see this face every single day.

Really, could he be any cuter?

But, don't tell him I said that, because he is almost nine, you know, and being called cute isn't really his favorite thing anymore.

But, he is cute...there's just no way around it.
And if we're not in public, sometimes he doesn't mind being called cute.

Jadon has also become a little adverse to hugs in public.
But, if you're in need of a hug in private, he is all there.

And he's a great hugger.

And if you're Adam, he'll probably even give you a hug in public.
('Cuz Adam is pretty much the light of Jadon's life.)

Okay, Elijah might get a hug in public too.

('cuz Elijah is his next-best buddy).

But, more likely, you'll find them sword fighting or confiscating Grace's dolls (in the nicest possible way, of course).

When we adopted Jadon, we could tell right away that he was all boy.

But he does have a quiet side too.

Especially when he's asleep.

He's really quiet then.
But, I like it when Jadon is awake...'cuz he's just so darn cute (sorry Jade...I can't help myself!), and fun, and sweet and loveable!

Thanks for seven wonderful years together, Jadon! You are an absolute treasure. We love you and are so glad that you are our son!
