Feb. 2, 2014 is known as Groundhog's day in the U.S. where in the east there is a small town in the state of Pennsylvania that watches for a very special groundhog to come out of his burrow. Will he see his shadow? If so, the saying goes that there will be 6 more weeks of winter. If there is no shadow, then Spring weather is just around the corner.
On Feb. 2, 2006 there was a special appearance of a little critter in our family. And this groundhog saw his shadow! With all the medical lights of the hospital room glaring on this little one it's a sure thing that a shadow was seen, but not for long until that cutie was brought to his momma's arms. It's a boy! Our little groundhog, Roosky, was born as the second child in our family! We thank the Lord for him and the gift that he truly is to us. Roo is 110% boy with energy to share. And that's a good thing because he can really keep our family on it's toes with fun and laughter!
In these winter months there is plenty of time to be indoors and plan a party! So the entire family enjoyed the preparations for Roosky's big day. Last year our two winter born children (Buggy in January and Roo in February) got the shy side of birthdays. We were neck deep (that's farther than knee deep!) in adoption paperwork, appointments, and expenses, so we felt like this year our attention needed to refocus on celebrating life! What better way than a birthday party!
The Despicable Me movie was our theme with pin the eye on the minion, toss bananas into the minion's mouth, minion bowling, pinata, and of course a minion cake! We all worked together to make this day a special one for this special boy!
Happy birthday Roosky! We love you so very much!
