six

Yesterday, Joost celebrated his sixth birthday. This past year has been one of such growth and maturity for him. He became a boy this past year. That is a wonderful thing, but a mother still becomes a bit sentimental at times like these. Here are some pictures of years gone by--maybe you can get a little teary-eyed, too....

Happy Birthday, Joost! I remember so well the time that the first three pictures were taken. I'm glad that we were able to see you weekly during that special time- wish we could now! =)
