In just a few more days my first born will be 8 years old.  I have a lot of pictures I want to scan in but my wireless router is not working and my awesome printer/scanner is wireless. Sooo… anyway, looks like I might have to just write about him for the next few days and hope that the pictures will come soon. Since I know my mom loves them.
I am his mother so I know I am extremely biased but here are a few things I love about Foster:

• His love of God and His Word
• His tender heart and sensitive spirit
• His gentleness
• His sense of humor
• His patience
• That he is a thinker and therefore gets distracted easily
• His willingness to help others
• How he so easily forgives
• His appreciation and love of books and reading
• His fascination with Legos
• His hatred of any form of potatoes (except French fries)
• His love of hunting and fishing and being outdoors

I could go on and on.  Foster isn’t perfect, but he was an easy baby, a cute, fat toddler and a bright, inquisitive pre-schooler.  I am so glad I am homeschooling because I can’t imagine missing all that time with him every day.  Right now Foster talks about becoming a wildlife biologist, a missionary, and “someone who goes to China and convinces them to stop slavery”. 
Some things that we would like Foster to learn at this point in his life are how to stick up for himself when being bullied and how to stay focused on the tasks he should be doing. 
For now these are a few pictures I have handy…
