Adam Turns 10!!!!!!!!

March, 2014:  Our baby is 10!!! 

We don’t know how it happened but our baby boy, Adam Monroe Sherwood, born March 15, 2004 at 1:01 a.m., weighing in at 8lbs, 3oz, at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Santa Rosa, California turned “10” while living in Doha, Qatar 2014.   How is this possible,? How have 10 years passed by and now this beautiful, polished, intelligent, funny, kind, generous, creative, unique, and hands down, fantastic young man stands before us? We have never known such pride outside of looking at our children.  Adam has had his fair share of obstacles, frustrations, and pain over the years, but we have seen him come out on top an even stronger, more appreciative person.  We love you more than you’ll ever  know!!!!!

Adam decided on a friend birthday party at the compound clubhouse where we live.  It was a lot of fun with music, limbo, art, photography, dress up, and a favorite movie …”UP”.  Many of the kids stayed after and swam which made for even more fun.  All in all it was a great day for our double digit kid. 

Our family (the 4 of us) had a special birthday weekend planned at the Intercontinental Hotel  here in Doha.  We were all spoiled with a beautiful room, beautiful cake, room service,, view of the beach/ocean, and lots of poolside fun.  It felt like we were on vacation somewhere far from Doha, which can be a very good thing because Doha is quite small in size  and can really feel that way some days, running into people you work with at many turns when you just need a break. 

Adam pooled all of his birthday money together and bought himself an ipod touch,  It was quite a moment of maturity and responsibility,  We almost didn’t allow it, but I guess we have to teach him how to use a device like this responsibly.  We’re so happy for him J All in all, it was a great birthday for our baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!
