Around the Sun

A little over a week ago we celebrated Ryan turning 7! What an amazing boy he is. So patient, kind, thoughtful, sweet and helpful. I love having him around and he always has an encouraging word or thoughtful thing to say. Our lives were changed forever the day he was born, and we can't imagine it any other way. xo
We started the morning off with our birthday tradition of a pancake per year. Ryan had a stack of 7 and ate them all! He wanted peanut butter and jelly pancakes (homemade pancakes, layered with peanut butter, and marionberry syrup) and banana blueberry salad with yogurt.Ryan planned our menu for the day:
Breakfast- Peanut butter and jelly pancakes and fruit salad
Lunch- Chicken Pesto Pasta (with homemade basil walnut pesto and tomatoes) and garlic bread
Dinner- Black bean, sweet potatoes, quinoa burritos with guacamole
and instead of cake he requested a strawberry tart with custard (a family recipe). That boy has good taste!Life is such a gift!
