Life with Adam, Sheridan, and our Little Stinkers: Our Baby Boy Isn't a Baby

Hogan turned 7 this year. Man, oh man, we sure love our little man. He is so smart, brave, sweet, kind, and fun. He is the BEST big brother! I wish I had a big brother like him when I was growing up. He dotes on his sisters and takes such good care of them. He is devouring chapter books. He loves to read. He reads at least two chapter books a week. His favorite chapter books to read to himself right now are the Boxcar Children, Magic Tree House, Adventures in Odyssey, Hank the Cow Dog and probably others that I can't think of. When I get up every morning he is already sitting in the rocking chair in the living room, reading a book. We love to read together and it is so fun to have someone who gets as excited about a good book as I do. He is so interesting to talk to and so fun to be around. Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, Ninjas, and Camo are his favorite things right now. He is all boy and jumps at the chance to do boy stuff with Daddy. He loves camping and fishing. He loves soccer. And most importantly, he loves Jesus. He spent a lot of time at Disney this year and can tell you the ins and outs of every park. He zooms around on his bike at lightening speed. He loves jumping on the trampoline and playing legos. The kid really loves legos. He, Lauralee, and Maryann are best friends and have so much fun playing together. But he and Lauralee really have a special bond. I hope they are always this close to each other. He has the sweetest heart and truly wants to make everyone happy. I love him so much. He is my son and has a special place in my heart that no one else could fill.
