Happy 4th Birthday Ezekiel Giles...


Ezekiel Giles–meaning–Strength Of God! And so he is and was!
The story of Ezekiel was created especially by God for me so that I could learn more about the meaning of grace, love, patience and abounding, generous love–and how to live beyond expectations.
The story is an amazing one, how God formed his inner parts (Psalm 139:13). I will update more of our story with Ezekiel when I have more time.:)

In the meantime, I will share how we celebrated Ezekiel's 4th birthday! The "Party" wasn't until Saturday so Friday we kept it low key and just made his day special by sharing all of his favorite meals and doing what he wanted to do. We made a special breakfast (a chocolate eclair), for lunch Papa and Nanny treated him to McDonalds, and for dinner we made pancakes. He played with his new train tracks from Grandma Nita and Grandpa Donnie nearly all day. The next day we had a Thomas the Train themed party. We played "Pin the sticker on Thomas", Thomas Pinata and Roasted Marshmallows. It was every thing he'd asked for and more...

This year I've learned that Ezekiel LOVES to talk and communicate and have me listen, that is how we've become so close–I learned that as an extravert, he has a lot to say and wants to talk about what he is thinking (or not thinking) :). Happy Birthday Ezekiel!
