I can't believe Andrew Colton Isbell has been in my life for six years! Dax climbed up in Cole's loft bed to awake him with a "Happy Birthday" tune and then they both came to get us this morning. The Ninja Theme Cole has chosen for this year's celebrations only moderately displays the entertainment, amusement and intensity he has brought to our world! We began the morning with the "traditional" birthday breakfast (a.k.a "camping foooood") of doughnuts and chocolate milk on a table of Ninja guys. Korwyn was so funny wondering what we must be doing having fire on food that early in the morning (candles)! David and I took pizza and a a cookie cake to lunch at school with the fellas (their lunches overlap only by 5 minutes)! Cole's teacher made him a crown to wear for the day and he shared, "because it was his birthday his friends picked on him" (what he really meant was they "chose him" when playing games :) When we arrived home from school he opened his presents. Upon noticing Dax's failed attempt to cover his difficulty watching Cole open his "mountain" (only 5) presents, my youngest son allowed his softer side to be glimpsed. He had opened two, reached to the three remaining, chose the medium sized one and offering it to his older brother said, "You can have this one." Dax asked, "Why are you giving me your present?" Cole replied, "I care for you..." Dax thanked him but with as much selflessness as he could muster stated, "It's your birthday, dude..." and gently moved the wrapped gift back to Cole. God, today is about thanking You for making them, for growing them, and for continually teaching me through them.
