Happy Birthday Dear Derek!!

Celebrating six wonderful years with our oldest son Derek! What a gift your life is to us, sweet son! Your personality is so like your daddy in many ways!I love watching the close bond between you two. Saturdays are your favorite days because, as you always say, "Good! Then I get to be with daddy all day!"

 You were very pleased to be free from all chores and school on your birthday! But you suggested that since you dont need to do school maybe I could just read history to you instead! You LOVE history and never tire hearing about Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and all the great founding fathers.

Your requested birthday meals were scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon for breakfast.
Shrimp, macaroni and cheese,  root beer and ICE CREAM Cake! yummy!

Your birthday was extra fun with special friends to share it with. .....
and you were super impressed with your gift from daddy & mommy. A mini four wheeler, just your size! Just like daddy had when he was your age! We smile from the window as we watch you spin around !!

You are so loved Derek!! We often feel pained that you don't have your little brother here playing beside you. You and Jadrian would be so darling tousling together! You are so excited about getting a brother from China. We love your kind compassionate heart and know you will continue to be a wonderful, fun and protecting big brother to your siblings!
More than anything, we desire you to live life to the fullest from your heart. To become ALL that God created you, Derek Ray Glick to be!  Because YOU were created for a special purpose!
You make our home brighter and sweeter. Love you to the moon and back!!!
