Happy Birthday Aidan!!

Five years ago today, you joined our family. We waited many years for you to join us and it has been amazing to watch you grow. To go from a tiny little boy who was adored by all to a five year old who is a great little man.

We have watched you go from being with just you and Austin, having fun together and growing together, to becoming a big brother yourself. And what an amazing big brother you have been!

You have shown so much love and compassion to Nathanial, Ethan, and Noah and they adore you for it! When they were itty bitty, you were right there to help them and hold them.

Now that they are older, you are right there to help them do things that they couldn't do on their own.

I also watch the way you adore Austin and look up to him, while also (most of the time) allowing his boundaries and understanding that you can't always be in his face.

You are very loving and can also be very silly.

I have loved watching you grow and blossom into a little boy the last five years, Aidan, and I am looking forward to many, many more. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for you as you get older, and whatever it is, I know it is great!

We love you very much!!!
