For Grant's 5th birthday we took him to Beauty and the Beast (the play). From the time the first actor came out until the finale his jaw was on the floor. He thought everything was funny and when the actors on the stage would ask a question Grant would yell out the answer. The coolest part was at the end the whole cast sang happy birthday to him and gave him a gift. (They do this if you come within a week of your birthday.) We thought it would be special for Grant to be alone with Jim and me but the whole time he kept saying he wished Kate was there with him!
After the play we came back to our house where Grandma and Grandpa Koss and Lindsay, Josh and Oliver met us. Grant wanted a transformer theme so we ate transformer cupcakes and played pin the helmet on the transformer. Kate pinned the helmet on papa's nose and he kept it there all night. I think it was one of the best days of Grant's life ever.
When he was asleep that night Jim and I went in and prayed for him and thanked God over and over that He saved Grant's life 5 years ago!

I remember Grant's birth 5 years ago, and the powerful, saving presence of Jesus in the hospital room with him. You and Jim shone like stars in the dark of night. Happy Birthday, Grant!
