It's Jay's birthday! He's 7 years old! How has his day been?
Wow. My baby boy is seven-years-old. I'm not even sure how I feel. Turk is seven! Wow! *Lol* Sorry, I'm just still in disbelief. How awesome is our God? These past seven years have been a whirlwind of emotions, changes, ups, downs, and, most of all, growth. Not just for him, but for me also. I am so grateful to the Lord for sustaining us. Jay has gone through moving multiple times, familial changes, changes in educational environment, and becoming a big brother. One would think that he has a pretty raw deal, but the Lord has blessed him with an inordinate amount of patience and understanding. He has done such a wonderful job of finding that proverbial silver lining in every situation, all the while not compromising his true feelings. He's incredibly expressive and has no problem telling me how he feels. Psychologically, it's a good thing, because I want and need to go about what's going on in that peanut head of his. He expresses his feelings and keeps it moving. What a kid. :-)
Jay had a really good day. He woke up to balloons and gifts sitting in the middle of his floor in his bedroom. We doubled up on lessons at the start of the week so he could get the entire day off. In the birthday cards we gave to him, he received "$100" in play money so he could buy all the activities he normally has to work hard to get. He had a speech session early in the day, then we went to the library to check out some new books. We ordered a couple of pizzas and sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He ate his chocolate cake and that was that! He had a very simple, but exciting day. He was so appreciative, and I loved the fact that it was just the four of us celebrating together. He also received lots of birthday wishes from family, friends, and Facebook acquaintances. So, for all of you who did, Jay has a message for you:

The birthday surprise we had set up in his room.
Jay standing with his championship belt and the Hot Wheels wall tracks Dad put up for him. There's actually two, but I forgot to take a picture of it after Stephan put it up.
My Champ.
Happy Birthday, Turk. :-)
