New Years Eve is never a dull night for us. We always have a party, although, the past themes have included farms, super heroes, spiderman, and pirates... not my general choice for the a themed party with adults but you see it is a given that the party will surround the birthday of our first child, David, who came into the world at 11:07 pm on the 31st. Yep, he came right before the New Year. The nurses even changed shifts in the middle of the c-section. ( I am sure they had places to be so they could celebrate with friends.)
I can't believe that I am a mom of a SIX year old! I still feel like I am 18 and in college on most days. It is hard to believe that I spent most of yesterday helping him wait for his friends to come over for a party. I spent the rest of the time transforming the dining room into a Star Wars theme and making a light saber cake.
It was a great party with lots of fun for all. So much fun with the making of the light sabers that we forgot to open the gifts that people brought until the very end and to give them their treats as they were leaving. I think the treats were the sabers! Somehow the cups with candy and stickers were not as much fun! :)
As we begin 2008 I am in shock that I have a six year old and that I have been married for almost eight years. I am also so thankful for all that the Lord has done in our lives. If I think back on the past few years and all that we have done I know that if I would have been told that we do the things that we have done I would not have believed it! Or I would have cried and not wanted to endure most of it. :) But I know that God is working all things for our good and His glory. He is taking us thru these times so that we can know Him better and glorify Him.
So I am thankful to the Lord for the New Year. I am thankful for our son and his 6 year old Star Wars party and I am excited to see what is next. I know that I would like to know what this year holds for us but I also know that I want to be faithful to see the days come one at a time. I don't need to see the future but I do know that I am excited about this year and God's unfailing love as we begin 2008.

Danielle, I can totally relate to having a six year old! I was looking at Miles tonight thinking about how fast he's growing up! My boys would have LOVED to come to David's Star Wars party! They're all over it! I'm thankful for blogs to keep up with friends! I pray this new year will be wonderful for you all! (Oh yeah, I'm due in 8 weeks and am feeling huge! I need patience!). :) Love ya! K
