Happy 5th BDay Alec

 It is hard to believe that we became parents 5 years ago today.  What a crazy journey it has been.  Matt and I are both so proud of Alec and the little man he has become.   We have loved getting to be his parents for these last 5 years.  He is precocious and social, he is insanely athletic and has more endurance and energy than any other 5 year old I know - no joke, he is really smart, especially with math or anything to do with numbers, he loves his friends, school and all organized sports, he still completely worships and adores Matt, and he is very excited to become a big brother for the second time later this month.  We love you to pieces Alec Randall!!  Matt is usually gone for work before the boys wake up in the morning, but he surprised Alec and got him up this morning for a special trip to Dunkin Donuts.  When he walked in Alec was all confused and said, "What?  Is it the weekend?"  He also got to open his present from Matt and I, his very own set of light sabers, which may be the death of me, but have proven to be a complete hit so far.  He is saving the rest of his presents from family for this evening when Matt gets home from work.  He went to school this morning, made carrot cake cupcakes with Grammy this afternoon (his cake request,) we are going to putt-putt this afternoon, and then he has soccer practice this evening.  Not a bad b-day for a 5 year old if you ask me.

Can you say trouble??
