So Blessed.....

that Jer and Andrea lived in CO. when Bo was born and we were able to drive there and be there to help bring him home from the hospital....we were even there for his first bath.  Look at that round little face.  He came early....thankfully ANN was there!  He didn't weigh a lot but he still had those cute cheeks.

Sometimes our little Bo doesn't know what to think about Madelyn.....she's kind of girly!
He doesn't like anything girly!

Home for Christmas a couple of years ago.  I love the way you can see his smile with his eyes...even though you can't see his mouth.  He is a happy boy (well, actually sometimes he likes to be called a Ruffy..dog...and sometimes he likes to be called a People)....

Bo loves his little brother Ben and he talks about him all the time.  I spent a lot of one on one time with Bo while I was in TX this year.  Probably more than I have ever spent with any of the grand kids.  He was my sleeping buddy....my waking up buddy....my performer (he likes to sing and perform....and I like it even more)....and my side kick.  He actually got so he  just hung pretty close to me and this past July when all of the kids were home, occasionally he would stake his claim and tell them that he was my cuddlier!  (You can imagine how I feel about that....since cuddling is my favorite thing to do).

It was so much fun to take him to pre-school and then pick him up and see how excited he was to show me the project he had made.  He was so easy to take to the store when we had errands to run.  He would sit in the shopping cart and just visit with me the whole time.  My favorite times were when he would sit on my lap....cuddle to me and let me read to him.  He is a funny boy....he was pretty particular about which books he wanted me to read to him.  Well, I guess you could say that he had me wrapped around his finger....and I don't know which of us enjoyed that more. WE  LOVE YOU BO AND WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE YOUR 5TH BIRTHDAY.  YOU ARE OUR LITTLE BUDDY AND WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER!!!
