Sean's 7th birthday

Sean celebrated his 7th birthday in June.  Good friends from Charleston happened to be visiting, and they helped us to celebrate.  Sean was so pleased and everyone seemed to enjoy our lego party.  I cannot believe Sean is already 7!  This has been a busy year for him.  He is quite the swimmer and his piano skills are improving.  He is an avid reader, who conquered The Hobbit this year amongst other books.  He is turning into a social butterfly with friends from swimming and siblings of the big kids' friends coming over to play often.  He spent time at Cub Scout camp this summer, and despite hunger, tiredness, and homesickness (it was a day camp...Sean is just a homebody), he enjoyed himself.  I was thankful that Luke decided to help out at Cub Scout camp so that Sean would have a sibling there and could enjoy himself more without feeling too lonely.  (Symptom of life in a big family I guess....they are used to being together all the time).  This year will prove a big step for him academically as he attempts some online classes this year.  Oh how thankful we are for Sean.  He is our quiet, thinker, sensitive child.  We are so happy we have him.

 How many lego pieces can you suck up with a straw in one minute.  All ages try it!

 Sean loves daddy's homemade icecream cake and asks for it every year

 I just thought this was hilarious. So did the kids.  Potty humor is sometimes funny in a house full of boys.
