June 29th - Birthday Boy





First I will say how sorry I am that I fell off the earth for a bit.. traveled on vacation seeing friends and family and then moved and are now unpacking boxes.. Bob just started his first day of work- today.

Yesterday was Daniel's 4th birthday, yet second with us. It was sweet. We went to church and then a place called T-Rex for lunch. I cried as the crew sang happy birthday to him. His face was full of joy and excitement. He is so special and sweet. I am so thankful for this time with him. God has done mighty things to heal his heart both physically and emotionally. He is adjusting well and this move has been the best for our family. When Daniel looked at us, when we told him we had to move, and his little lip quivered and asked us 'me too - do I get to come' - my heart will never be the same. No child at three or any age should ever have to ask his family if they get to move too. They should know without a doubt they all go. A team. Thank you God for answering prayer and showing us glimpses of his heart and allowing us a little a a time so we can better pray for our child and give him grace when needed and enough love for us all until you heal him. thank you for Daniel.

Happy Birthday Daniel, we love you and you will always go with us - you are a Shelton.
