Happy Birthday Hudson! 3.27.2021

Hudson Frederick- named so appropriately after Hudson Taylor  & my sweet outgoing Grampy, has been blowing our minds at his innocent outreach ways! He is the 1st to ask to pray for anything, the 1st to want to watch "God shows" & the one we hear recounting those stories to anyone that will listen. He will hug anyone close enough to get a squeeze, with his big hear hugs. He is aware of the simple things that we overlook. His imagination is bubbling over with ideas and creations. We all know the days can be challenging raising our Hudbud and seeing him grow and explore Bible messages & understand God's love for him has been our biggest joy so far. We have been blessed beyond measure by a special needs ministry that is just 2 miles away! They offer all sorts of athletics as well as amazing play time and Bible stories weekly. He looks forward to CCV every single Saturday. When we saw his birthday was on a Saturday, we knew he had to celebrate there and he did, with his small group and the amazing Special Needs coaches. We know 8 will be great, buddy! Keep doing YOU! You are incredible in every way, and in Veggie Tale form " God made you special & He loves you very much". 

The latest craze for Hudson has been a game called Among Us. Although it looks cute and colorful I think it's actually kinda gruesome?! I found this out when the kids at the party were talking about death, dead bodies and murder. Oh boy. Mom Fail!? Butttt... we nailed the theme & we hope the game choice improves from here . It can only get better right? 😂

Hannah created this amazing Impostor Pinata. 

My assistant in IL, Miss Jordan, who Hudson calls Grandma, sent him moola for Legos! My mom did as well, and Hudson was oh so excited to shop and get YES as an answer for his wishes! That kid life always window shopping haha! But today, Wednesday before his Bday, was his YES day! 

Then we got brave and went to Peter Piper for lunch. And we were the only guests, because I love going when places 1st open. And the ticket man who was testing all the games gave us the tickets! SO sweet & they had SO much fun! I did too. That basketball shoot out & skee ball have my heart! 

Lulu was freed from her stroller too, and loved the ride ons! 

 

Saturday finally arrived! And it was a fun filled all about Hudson with a side of deep cleaning & Crossfit. Hannah made him a scavenger hunt to find his gifts.  

We ended the day with a little bash, pinata...silly string... games... parts of a  movie & lots of sugar!
