HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY, CADENCE!!






Yesterday, we celebrated Cadence's 5th birthday with a pool party! Everyone had so much fun! The weather had been rainy and overcast all day, but during the party, it was nice enough and the sun came out so everyone could swim. Just as we were about to leave, it started raining. We sure lucked out! Cadence enjoyed the day with about 30 friends and family. Thank you everyone for coming and honoring Cade- it means so much to us that you are a part of his life. Thank you also for all the wonderful gifts, cards, etc. He received so many nice things as well as a few donations in his honor. A few people had asked me what he needed/wanted- Cadence's closet is full and his toy box is overflowing! So I asked them to consider a donation to Reece's Rainbow, a Down syndrome adoption ministry that is close to our hearts, and also contributed to The Balsis Family's adoption of a little girl with Down syndrome in his honor. (Bethany is one of my friend Carmen's friends). The people who received these gifts were very touched and grateful! What a GREAT gift to give someone! (hint, hint...my birthday is in September, LOL)
Happy 5th Birthday, Cadence!!!
