Happy Birthday x 7

So all morning long I've been doing things in sevens, seven good mornings, seven birthday kisses, seven birthday hugs, seven small pieces of cereal in his bowl, etc. Noah is acting irritated but the cute little smile that he can't hide seems to indicate that he's enjoying the attention. I can't believe that he is seven already and he can't believe that he IS ONLY seven. We had his party last Saturday but tonight, on his birthday, he will be awarded his next belt level in karate. We are very proud of him and he has worked very hard to earn it. After the belt ceremony then Noah and I are headed to downtown Vancouver to see a movie together.

Then....


And now....
