Joseph's Eve of SIX!

2015

And the eve of Six.

Seriously? How can this be... 

Joseph, I remember vividly this evening in 2009, 

on the night you were born. 

last pictures of five

Mommy had so wanted to go to the PSU/IOWA white out.

it was to be redemption that year. You weren't due for two more weeks, 

so 

WHY NOT!

But, we thought better of that and stayed home and prepared for some friends... 

and the rest is history...

you can read about that here -- the night you were born!

(not included in this story is how Gramps and Grams were IN State College, having sold their tickets, just walking around shopping... COME HOME Mommy told Grams,  and Grams was like, 

are you sure, it's probably a false alarm, later Mommy's text told them you were coming eventually and they left PSU pronto!) 

"Simba" eyes

And then here you were!  I mean, what a joyous surprise! 

And here you are on the EVE of SIX! 

if you want to remember yourself being one click here for a little photo video montage

and then the night before two is here in a quick little letter to Joseph

But then you turned THREE which brought along this wonderful post about you on the "EVE"

and then there was FOUR!!!

(mommy just looked at this post and sigh, you are just getting SOOO big!) 

But Joseph, of all the posts I have written about you,

the eve of FIVE has been my favorite (click here)

for this little poem I wrote makes me smile each time I read it,

and you are still so wondrous on the eve of six!

Just a year smarter, a year taller, a year wiser and yes

now a KINDERGARTENER who makes us smile and laugh the best!

(and I can't top this poem ever...) 

Oh Joseph we can't wait to see what this year brings! 

I know it will be fabulous! Sleep well my dear, for the best is yet to come!
Six will be sensational!

Love, 

Mommy
