Sasha's 8th Birthday



Sasha loved to sleep this way

How was I to know that my life will be filled with joy after you were born on this eve eight years ago.

Still today this is your favorite way to sleep, in the arms of your papa




A child of delight

Your sweet smile delights the soul




Water child

You and your brother are inseparable, especially in your quest of adventure

You marvel at the beauty of Mother Earth's simple treasures

to love to explore smaller worlds

Your energy takes you to higher places....

My Sasha, I have always held you close to my heart yet given you all the freedom to explore with gentle guidance and patience.  You have grown into a gentle, empathetic, confident young boy, an exceptional role model for your brother who looks up to you and loves you dearly.  We love you.

  10. Happy, happy birthday sweet Sasha! Enjoy all the wonders being 8 will bring to you. Dear mama, you have so much heart and always touch mine. The joy and birthday celebrations for Sasha in your home and family must be very special this week. New memories made and so many precious memories remembered and savoured from previous birthdays up toi the birth day. Your pictures show that journey so well. Your words and pictures had me smiling and I sincerely hope that one day we shall meet Sasha. How did these babes of ours get to be 8, hey? And how blessed we are to be on this life journey with our children. Your boys chose their mother very, very well.
    Always love to you, dear friend and happy birthday celebrations.

    Love
    Kelly

    PS - I just love that A Child of Delight captioned picture and I'll show Sol the frangipani worm picture. He will wish so much to be in that picture with Sasha.

  20. His greatest birthday present was his parents. A great little soul, entrusted to great guardians, given the wealth of all the earth. And doing well with that.
