Happy 9th Birthday Thomas!!

I can't believe that Thomas is turning 9! 
Seriously where has the time gone. He is growing up so fast. In just a few short years I'm pretty sure he will be taller than me.  This picture was taken a year ago and at that time he was only like a head shorter than I me. It's going to be a sad day when it finally happens.


Here are my NINE favorite things about Thomas:
1. He LOVES his Auntie. Without fail no matter where he is or what he is doing he will stop and come, greet me and ALWAYS gives me a hug. When he leaves or I leave he ALWAYS says "Bye Auntie I love you so much". 
2. He is such a great reader and he takes after Kelly for his love of reading. Coming from someone who doesn't enjoy reading and wishes that she does, I'm grateful that he does.
3. He is a GREAT big brother. Not only is he surrounded by sisters at Kelly's house but he is also surrounded by sisters at Ryan's house. He is going to make a great boyfriend/husband.
4. He has a great desire to learn. He loves school and does well when he's there.
5. He adjusts well to change. Another thing I wish I did as well as he does.
6. His sensitivity. There are very few movies that he can get through without a tear. If he hears of someone being sick he needs to know what is happening and when they will be better. Kelly has learned not to share her work stories around him. 
7. HIS CONTAGIOUS SMILE. LOVE. IT.
8. His love of electronics. He is going to take after his Auntie. 
9. His desire to do good and to help those that are in need.  

I love this kid so much!! I don't know what life would be like without him in it. I can't wait to see what this year brings for him. 

Here are a few of his birthday pictures.
