Eight is Great

Liam calls this picture lucky ducky.  It was his third four leaf clover he found last summer.  I have never found one and told him not to bother looking but he wanted to anyway.  I admire his persistence and hope he does great things with it.

Liam is a great big brother to Jacob.  He is very gentle and likes to read to him.  He recently taught Jacob how to play chase. 

Liam's first and last day of school.  In these pictures I see my sweet shy boy.  His teacher said he is delightful in class and greets her every morning with a smile.

This year Liam played soccer, basketball, baseball, was in scouts and summer swim.  He enjoyed basketball the most and is planning to play again this winter.  This year he is also learning to play the piano.

But what he loves most is reading books and building legos.

For Liam's birthday we had friends over to celebrate Super Mario style.  We had the kids play a stacking cup game, built lego fidget spinners, had a yoshi egg race, a backyard obstacle race, then after snacks and cake, the kids played Super Mario in our basement.  I am thankful for the friends he has made at our neighborhood school and that they came to celebrate his day.
