Allan is 7!!!

Allan Lee Jasper is 7!!!

It seems crazy to type that, because I swear he was just 4 yesterday, with long hair and a smaller vocabulary. My, how time has flown by in the blink of an eye. We’ve determined, over the last few years, that time in fact means nothing anymore.

We celebrated our oldest’s birthday this past weekend, first with a trip to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga, and then with cake and presents on his actual birthday on Sunday. The kids’ grandmother, aunt and uncle all came over and it was so sweet to just celebrate our boy with family. We feel so blessed to have such a good relationship with their paternal side of the family; we know it’s not always the case so we’re extra grateful for that.

Allan is 7 and right now he loves dinosaurs, climbing trees, playing video games, reading, helping out, and playing basketball. He is a classic oldest child, always aiming to please as much as he can. He is so full of life that it’s infectious, always finding ways to spread joy to everyone he meets.
