Happy 4th Birthday, Skyler!

Today our sweet little Skyler got bigger!  We are so thankful he is such a special part of our family.

This morning during the breakfast prayer, Spencer thanked Heavenly Father that Skyler is now "big."  As soon as we said "Amen," Skyler immediately spoke up: "I'm not big yet, Spencer!"  I couldn't help but giggle.  Skyler tells it as it is.  He is sweet, precocious, and can be rather mischievious.  He is very aware of what is going on around him.  He is very patient and determined when he sets his mind to something.  Sometimes that last quality is a strength, sometimes it is very frustrating for his mommy!  His zest for life shows in his eyes in the pictures above.
He has always been gentle and a great snuggler.  He loves children younger than him and is so sweet with them: his almost 2-year-old cousin Ansley especially.  He loves to sit next to people with his arm around them.  He and his 5-year-old cousin, Daniel, are best of friends; he would play with Spencer and Daniel every day, if he could.

We would be lost without Skyler as a part of our family!
