My little giant turned five today.

It's official. Joshua is now 5 years old. It's amazing how fast they grow. Some faster than others it seems. Joshua is such an amazing kid. He is so loving, kind and lots of fun. Right now I am just trying to enjoy what time I have left before he goes off to school. I can not believe he is going to be in Kindergarten next year. How time flies. It seems like just yesterday that I was looking at this cute little guy for the first time. He was so cute with his perfectly round head and strawberry peach fuzz. Sean was so proud to have a little brother. I remember watching him feed Joshua his first bottle. That was the sweetest things I've ever seen. Children are such a blessing. They teach us so much about who we are and what God wants us to be. It's easy to think of our kids as ours, but they are not. They are a beautiful gift from God for the short time that we have them. We are to love them and train them to serve Him. They are his and one day we will have no control or say in what they do. We must make the best of the short time that we have been given. Teach them what they need to know and help them to find their own faith. Then let them go and pray that they will make the right choices. They will not always. But hopefully they will learn from their mistakes and become better people because of them.
But for now, I am going to cherish every moment that I have with them as if it was my last.
