Today is Tanner's 9th birthday! It's hard to believe he's already 9! The other day he asked about his 1 year old birthday party. I explained we weren't with him for his birthdays when he was 1, 2, and 3, he didn't seem to mind. I told him I would show pictures of his birthdays with us, and decided to put them all here. I have some other posts to catch up on, but, I'll have to do that later - we're heading to Atami (Tanner's choice - sushi and Hibachi grill) for his birthday dinner.
This morning I was feeling a little sad about missing his first three birthdays, but, realized if we hadn't missed them, we never would have had Tanner to begin with! What a blessing that God chose us to be his second set of parents, we are so truly thankful!

Happy Birthday Tanner! You are such as special young man. You are truly a blessing to all you meet. You show God's love and his grace to everyone you meet. I have been blessed by being your friend and your OT. I love you! Shelly and Jon...you have raised a wonderful you man. You truly have something to be proud of! Even when Tanner is in terrible pain from headaches, he has a smile to give! That comes from God and from having such wonderful parents!
