It is long past but I have to post that John did have a birthday. It is a hard one to catch as we are so tied up with harvest winding down, getting caught up in school, and many other normal activities. We did however make time for the traditional rich chocolate cake that he and I enjoy so much. Love that he loves chocolate as much as I do. Every year I marvel at this kid. He is so funny and relaxed.
John loves to climb high up into any tree he can manage. He scares me how high he goes and how weak the limbs appear. But he is most often found up a tree when the weather is decent. Now that the weather is more inclement he is found reading, or making lego designs, or sword fighting. He has always had a penchant for making things and for swords.
I love that John is relaxed. Some of my kids are pretty chill and he is really good at rolling with life, or just ducking from the whirlwind we live in these days and doing what he prefers. He is serious about the sword play though as I hear him coaching his brothers on proper striking.
Reed is not hurt just being coaxed into joining the ruckus. John taking a breather or making a new game plan. |
