On August 21, 2004 our little guy made his entrance into the world...Reece David Padilla! Life has certainly not been the same since that day :-). We celebrated his 6th birthday starting with a birthday breakfast of pancakes (thank you daddy) and some family presents: scuba mask, superhero shirt, homemade cards from the girls, Lego sets and a plane. Reece chose to celebrate at Medieval Times for dinner that night with his friend Glorien. If you've never been there, you need to go with your kids, it's a treat... step back in time with epic battles, jousting tournaments, a royal feast, knights and romance~ Inside the stone walls of an 11th century castle, Medieval Spain came to life as six knights clashed in a jousting tournament for the title of King's Champion - and our Knight won (Black n White)!! It was a fun evening for us to share together. We also invited our family over the next day to celebrate over an Italian dinner (the bday boy's request)...lasagna, garlic bread, salad and watermelon, and of course a huge cake with a football across it to top it off. The cousins had a great time running around and shooting some hoops. Always a special time to have the family together. Safe to say that Reece felt "celebrated" this year, by the looks on his face. We love our little boy from the inside out, growing up so quickly but still 100% kid in every way. Reece, your enthusiasm and humor in life reminds us to live each day ALIVE, not taking anything or anyone for granted. We thank God for you and love you lots Reecie Reece*
