He loved to be held, and was always smiling...
As a seven year old he is still just as sweet and his smile will melt your heart. You just can't stay mad at this kid, and believe me, I've tried! (wonder where he gets that from, ahem Stan?)
This little man is also part daredevil. He is always looking for something to climb, and of course jump from. The higher the better! No fear of injury...
Just because he is the youngest brother, does not hold him back. He is our only broken bone (thus far) which he accomplished at two years old. He is also the only one who has had their teeth knocked out playing football... so far (thank goodness they were baby ones :o) )...
On any given day you will find him dressed up as Indiana Jones...
a soccer ball...
Jack Sparrow or any other pirate...
G.I. Joe...
a variety of superheroes...
or maybe even a combo character (teenage-mutant-ninja-Superman)...
Because of his great personality and being in the middle of the pack, he fits right in with everybody. Anytime somebody wants to play something, he's always right there.
Whether it's playing "house" with the little girls...
"king and queen" with Natalie...
Chess with Luke...
"dancing" w/ Sophia
just chillin' w/ Felicity...
or holding Maria...
He is surrounded by brothers and sisters that love him dearly.
The other day his teacher approached me after school and said that John needed to study harder for his math quiz, but she just couldn't be hard on him...she just loved him too much and "he was too darn cute!" I feel your pain, really I do :o)
We love you John Paul, you are a little ray of sunshine around here, and our family wouldn't be the same without you in the middle. Happy Birthday big boy! Love, Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday John Paul!!! I can't believe you're 7. Seven years and you are such a wonderful nephew. You have such a beautiful spirit that warms hearts. A treasured gift that is naturally yours. Enjoy your new age and I love you very much.
