Walker Turns 5!

I am trying hard to keep plugging away at getting caught up on some of our Fall events.

Walker had a birthday on November 22nd. He is five and that is hard to believe! Sometimes I think his life has seemed to pass the fastest of all the children so far!
Walker is so excited to be five because that means he can go to Kindergarten next year. Walker loves school. He takes so much pride in having friends he can talk about and play with.

We went to Wisconsin for a friend's baptism on the morning of Walker's birthday, and on the way home he told us all that he wanted everyone to get in their pajamas before he opened his presents. So we snapped a couple of pictures, and then everyone changed before he opened them. I was totally game for this because I remember very specifically that Lydie slept terribly the night before, and I was completely exhausted.

Walker is a sweet boy who is just trying to keep up with the big kids. He loves to play with trucks, and I love that he is so willingly occupied by them. He was such a trooper during 2014. The year was spent full of different endeavors than we had imagined it would be when we found out Lydie was on the way. In the midst of my pregnancy misery, Walker was always happy to go along with what I needed him to do. He entertained himself for more hours than I care to admit or remember while I survived. He has been a good sport about becoming a big brother, and shows nothing but love to his baby sister. His patience continues through the adjustments to having a newborn.

Walker is smart, and stubborn. He somehow maintains his little guy cuteness as he grows. We just love him.



Always excited about their very own box of sugary cereal.

Walker's favorite gift was by far his garbage truck.

You are officially a big boy, buddy! We love you!
