Happy 7th Birthday Devan!!!

My baby boy...he will always be my baby. Well, he turned 7 this past week. I cant believe it. It seems just like yesterday I was laying in a hospital room holding my precious little 5lb 14oz baby. On August 5, 2003 @ 1:18 p.m. my life was forever changed. I am in awe at seeing that baby grown up into a little boy. Devan is such a warm, kind-hearted, and sensitive child. He has such a wonderful spirit and gentle heart. He truly is the sweetest little boy I know! He is "all boy" loves to get dirty and play in water.
I love you Devan more than words and I could never imagine my life without you. You make mommy so proud of the sweet little boy you are.

We had a party for Devan....He loved seeing his cousins and going bowling!

Also this year on August 5th marked not only Devan's birthday but the first day of school!

This year Devan is going to be in 1st grade again. He struggled the last half of the school year last year. After many talks with the guidance counselor and teacher, it was decided it would benefit him greatly to learn it one more time.

Not only did Devan start school, Laila started VPK! (I'm going to be a basket case next year when she starts Kindergarten!) Laila loved it. She follows in Devan's footsteps so much. She wanted to do what Devan does. I got her a backpack and "school supplies" and took her to daycare,where in a separate classroom VPK is held from 830-1130. She is growing up so fast it makes me sad.

Here are some pics of the first day....

I am looking forward to a great school year for Devan and hoping to survive Laila in VPK. Laila will be having her birthday ina few weeks...she will be 4!!!
