A Gift from Heaven...the Boy is Seven

Seven years ago, little Merrick was born.

I know it's a cliché...but it seems like it was just yesterday, and...using another cliché...time really does fly.

It is a joy to watch him grow up, and it is a joy (speaking for Lisa, too) to be his grandparents.

We do love our little man, our buddy-boy, our grand grand-son.

We had a get-together at a local restaurant. Including the birthday boy, there were 15 of us.

Merrick and his parents left dinner early to attend a cub scout trick-or-treat event...where his mama passed out candy, and his aunt Heather (a dental hygiene student) passed out toothpaste.

Happy 7th birthday Merrick. Love you.
