Happy Birthday Brighton!

September 30, 2008 | Filed Under Brighton, Family 

It’s that time again. Guess who had another birthday? And it’s a pretty big deal, this particular milestone. On September 22, Brighton turned a whopping 8 years! Did you read that correctly? I know I typed it correctly. Eight-years-old. He’s practically moving out! Just kidding. But pretty soon he’ll be in double digits. Then he’ll be a teenager. And I’m sure Kuei and I will freak out about that too. It’s blowing my mind. My first born son is going to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints soon too! (likely a week or so after General Conference). Wow. The fact is, my “little man” is really turning into a little man. Age of accountability. This is huge.

Brighton has a big heart. He’s very open and accepting of others. He’s a funny and curious kid with many talents. He’s our first child. We started our family earlier than most. But looking back, I can see how much Brighton has blessed my life. I am very proud to be his Dad.

We celebrated on Saturday, and went to a park with Grandma & Grandpa. Brighton invited a friend he goes to school with, who lives nearby. We ate cake and hit a Piñata. We opened gifts. Brighton got his first skateboard and is learning very quickly how to use it. I am surprised how easily he has taken to it. (I had my first board around 9 or so and was really into skateboarding for a few years).
