Not only did Benji have a 7 year-old birthday party eve celebration on Sunday with his sister, grandma, mom, aunts, uncles, cousins, great grandma, a great uncle and a great aunt, all on my side of the family, but he also turned 7 the next day!
The same night of the party, Brinlee also did a little growing up of her own. She spent her first night in a toddler bed. She had mixed emotions about the change to a bed from a crib, and fell on the floor that first night while she was asleep, but other than that she has done just fine with it.
I love my children so much and can't believe how fast they are growing. I was also grateful to have my grandma at the party too. She is so frail and in poor health that I just don't know how much longer she will be around on this side of the veil. So I was glad to have a picture of her and I together.
The morning of Benji's birthday, I wrote him a cute little note on the marker board, which I love by the way). I took a picture, but here is what it said, "Happy Birthday Benjamin Taylor Scott! 7 years ago you were 6 pounds 5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Now you are over 40 pounds and over 4 feet tall. You had red hair and blue eyes. Now they are both brown. My how you have grown and you're still so full of live. Heart - Mom

Just for fun.
Here are two cute pictures of Benji when he was three.
My how he's changed and yet stayed the same.
