Parky Shark




Our little Parky turned four in May. He is a fantastic boy with so much love to give. He smiles at everything and just plain enjoys life. He will grab my face and cuddle into me and say "Mom your my best friend." Truth is he tells everyone in the family that they are his best friend. He considers this the highest compliment, and we all love hearing it.

When we were living on the land Parkin would wake up in the middle of the night and need to be comforted to go back to sleep, since we were in the small trailer we were always worried that the older kids would wake up, so Parkin often cuddled with us in our bed. We attribute these early experiences to why he still crawls into to bed with us on occasion. But both Benjamin and I love cuddling with him that we find ourselves strangely ok with our night time cuddle.

For Parkin's birthday I made chocolate cupcakes for preschool and my usual crown and we sang to him at recess, luckily this hit the spot and he was completely satisfied with his "birthday party."

Parkin, I love you so very much. Your little face makes me smile. You calm me when I am getting tense or worked up, just with a hug , and "mom you need to be nice." He is the kids best attorney always their advocate. Parkin you are so very "special to me." Love you son ! xxx000

Parkin has always been so cuddly.I always loved to hold him because he was so sweet and cuddly. I can't believe he is four. I am sad we are not there to see him grow up he is such a sweetheart. We sure miss you guys.

What a lucky little boy he is to have his mom also be his preschool teacher. I wish Owen were lcose and could also attend the award winning Kokopeli Preschool.

Awww....cute little Parky! He truly is a sweet little guy. I really can't believe he is 4 and that Lorelai is close behind him. It is going way too fast. Happy Birthday to him!
