Birthdays 5, 6 and 7...

Liam's 5th Birthday...





Today is Liam's 7th Birthday!!!  We missed his first 4 Birthdays:-(   And Liam actually 
turned 5 yrs. old about 7 days after we got him in China.  I can't say we celebrated too much though.  We actually had a pretty rough day of tantrums with Liam on his 5th Birthday.  So much had changed in his short time with us and it was all starting to catch up with him.  We got him at one hotel, moved to a different hotel, drug him all over town for paperwork/site seeing, took him back to his orphanage to say goodbye to his friends, took him on his first plane ride, yet again to a different hotel and then to a medical
 exam...all in the first week.  I think by the time his Birthday came he was just a little overwhelmed maybe.  It makes me a little anxious just typing it all out.  LOL!  He did play at the park and have a smoothie from Starbucks but that was just about the extent of our celebration.  I was just happy to have him in my arms at last and glad that I would never have to miss another Birthday.  For his 6th Birthday we
 made sure to have a BIG party.  We invited lots of friends and family.  He had 2 Spiderman cakes and lots of decorations.  It was a GREAT day!  Today...Liam turned 7 yrs. old.  I can't believe it!  He is so tiny but his personality, smile and laugh make up for his size.  He is SO fun!  He wanted to ride go-carts, lazar tag and video games at Somethin' Funn this year.  He had a BLAST!  
Thank you Jesus for my amazing little man.
