Dear Blake William,
Right now you are five!!
Right now you are loved so much, by so many.
Right now you are just bursting with energy and love, so much energy.
Right now you love, love, love building. You love lego, mechano, k’nex and more. You love to follow the instructions.
Right now you love doing projects, especially when glitter, paint and scissors are involved.
Right now daddy and I are loving seeing you during the day, every day, while you are at school. I see you in the library, we see you in the hallway, we see you in the playground and we absolutely love it.
Right now I love listening to you sing. You sing and you sing and you sing, sometimes in English, sometimes in Chinese, and occasionally in French.
Right now you tell lots and lots and lots of stories with an extraordinary memory for little details.
Right now you love playing games. Our favorites are Clue, Fish, and War.
Right now you love learning how things work and have seemingly unending curiosity, especially about machines.
Right now you love listening to stories. Picture books, chapter books, comic books – you can not get enough!
Right now you give the best hugs and kisses.
Right now you are working so hard to say tricky sounds like f and s and k and we are dazzled by how hard you try.
Right now you love to draw and write and you amaze me and surprise me everyday with all that you know.
Right now you love watching the Avengers and Justice League and your dad is thrilled about your fascination with super heroes.
Right now you love playing with your best buddies Bryce and Bauer.
Right now I feel so lucky to be in your life. You bring me so many smiles and days of laughter.
Right now we love you more than anything else in the whole world. And we always will.

I always love your birthday tributes to that beautiful, funny, smart, loving little guy. Can’t wait to hug him this summer! xo
What an awesome blog! Your family must love it!
What a nice write up Amy! Your blog is so much better than any photo album. Does Blake see what you write in it because it is all so great! So many memories captured and so nice that you share them all with us!
We surely do love Amy’s blog and even more the people it’s about. Too often we take the blog and the people for granted. Thank you for keeping us in the loop we really do appreciate your efforts… and your caring and love shines through in every blog you write. Love you all sooooo… much. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
Hugs and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Blake!
You know that it is just the morning of your birthday here in Canada so I’ll send some more hugs and kisses. Can you count how many? OOOOOXXXXX* and many more.
Love Grandma and Grandpa
