Today (Wednesday) was Caden's 7th b-day. It is rather hard for me to believe that so much time has passed. I don't have any babies anymore and everyone is in school now. Woo Hoo!! There were so many days that I longed for this time, imagined what it would be like and now here it is. Everyday has a new experience in it and I am grateful for the family God has given me but I do love some freedom now and then.
I think that in the case for many 2nd borns, they are planned and eagerly awaited. I had a tubal pregnancy between Izy and Caden (the reason for the 4 years) which made his birth very anticipated. Izy was 4 and wanted a sibling and I had gotten over the initial shock of having kids (I got pregnant with Izy 1 month after the honeymoon-accidentally) and was ready to get going with more kids. I don't remember much of the pregnancy except the constant backache I had but I do remember what a happy guy he always was. I would tell people that he was my 'joy'-always smiling and teasing you with those big brown eyes. He loved being around people and was a big flirt!

There are so many things about him that are so unique and wonderful, I just love him. He does try my patience more than I would like to admit but it all comes with the package and I will keep this little guy. He is an amazing boy and despite everything but more importantly-mine.

Happy Birthday Caden!!!! You are one very COOL kid. Good luck at your baseball game tonight. I hope you hit a homerun. I'll be cheering for you! Go Rockhounds!!
Hey Kim, who does he have for a teacher next year? I'm just curious if he and Nikia will be in the same class next year. Nikia will have Mrs. Lusk.
Happy 7th Caden Rain! We love you buddy! The memory I have of his birth is that it took his dad 2 days to name him. The cool thing is that his name has great meaning and it was worth the wait!
Happy Birthday to a very handsome young man.
BTW, I love those photos of him.
What a sweet story...how great to have such wonderful kids. Happy Birthday Caden!
great photos kim...that smile is contagious! happy birthday late big guy!
Great Name! Great pictures. I've never seen photos before where he is smiling so big. He looks more like Sage.
He is soooooo cute!
Caden reminds me of Rock when he was a kid. I remember thinking he was such a smart big brother and Caden reminds me of that when we have such "adult" conversations about the weather or how something mechanical works. I always like to see what he is thinking about each day.
