This was it!! The day that my boy turned 6…at Sea! I had high hopes for today. We would swim, hang out for a little bit in Nassau, possibly talk the kids into a nap…but what I was really looking forward to was the Pirate Party that night! I was so excited that this party...
The ride from Disney World to the port was short and painless (but FULL of toll roads!) and before we knew it we were checking in and boarding the ship! Minnie was waiting to meet with Clara Beth before we boarded. 🙂 As soon as we were on the ship we found Amy and Sara...
We were up bright and early to be ready for a FULL Disney day. We only had one day, and we were determined to make the most of it! We met Amy, a friend of mine from Highschool who now works part-time for Disney, just after the Magic Kingdom opened. She had offered to get...
Okay, so this really wasn’t Mak’s Birthday trip. We did NOT give our 6 year old a cruise for his birthday. It just so happened that Disney was running this great “Kids Sail Free” promotion and the best dates for us were over his birthday. I’m writing this so I have proof to show Clara...
Yes, SIX. As in, years OLD. As in, he has to use two hands to show how old he is. My baby boy is growing up so fast. And it’s the most bittersweet thing in the world to me. I kind of divide my life into two parts…before I became a mom and after. The...
WOW! This entire post makes me want to cry. I know you are a great momma and I know your babies love you! Kingsley is only 3 weeks old but reading this makes me want to soak up every single second I have with her at home EVEN more. It really is amazing how fast time flies by. It seems like I just left the hospital to bring her home, when in reality.. next Saturday my baby girl will be one month old. This post reminds me of Darius Rucker “It won’t be like this for long”…makes me cry EVERY time! Continue to enjoy every moment with your babies..I know they love you both. Happy Birthday to Mak! 😉ReplyCancel
Aron, I had tears in my eyes reading this. Your post was so real and beautiful. Isn’t it such an honor to raise a child- I mean really an unworthy thing of us sinners but God must see the good and worth in us to give us such an awesome responsibility. I know you cannot believe that he is 6 and I know how proud you are to call him your son. He is very blessed and he has a gorgeous, wonderful family that he can always count on. I know you will enjoy your cruise (still very jealous)! I also think you need to frame the picture of his legs with the skateboard and CB’s ballerina legs and put them somewhere together.ReplyCancel
You have an incredible gift Aron. You and your amazing ability to draw a picture with your words is so….incredible! Our family would be lost without you! (not to mention it would not exist!) Thank you! Thank you for reminding me of all of the great memories and stories. Happy birthday Makgill!ReplyCancel
Oh my gosh! Aron … that seriously brought tears to my eyes! I know that I’m not a mama YET but someday will be. I just realized that I have had him for HALF of his life at school. HALF! I’ve seen this baby boy grow up and am SO sad that this year he will leave me. Time sure does fly all too quickly … happy 6th birthday Mak! Mrs. HUNT loves you!!!ReplyCancel
Mak, Happy Birthday from LiLi and Boom Boom too. You have to know this post makes me cry partly because of you and partly because I remember those days with MY children. So Aron, you will NEVER forget these days, and I always thought each stage was even better than the last…but you NEVER forget the sweet growing up days. AND when you are fortunate enough to have grandchildren you will start it all over again.ReplyCancel
first of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Clara Beth’s bed head!!! and the picture of Mak eating his birthday breakfast…he still looks like a baby 🙂 just thought that might make you happy to hear… and the picture of the 2 of them in Nassau…Mak looks too cool!
Gillian, Thank You!!! I thought he looked like a baby there, too!
