Jude is 6 years old

Yesterday was Jude’s 6th birthday and at his request (made several months ago) we took a family vacation to the beach. Aside from the typical challenges of taking 3 small children anywhere it was a pretty fun trip. We planned our trip to coincide with my parent’s (Grandma + Boogie) trip to the beach. We rented a 2 bedroom condo in Myrtle Beach just a few miles away from the Travel Park where my parents take their RV to the beach. We played in the sand, jumped over the waves, rode the lazy river, played, swam and ate way too much delicious food. It was a pretty typical vacation… oh yeah we also celebrated Jude. He’s 6!

I’m so proud of this kid. He can push my buttons like no one else but when I see him make good decisions, treat people with compassion and respect, and do all of the generally awesome things he does I seem to forget about all the craziness.

I can’t wait to see what year 6 with Jude holds.
