Caleb Turns 12 Years Old

Today Caleb turned twelve.  Thanks to getting some clarity on things, I can honestly say watching Caleb turn twelve has been enjoyable.  He is a different child and so fun to see him grow up into the man God truly designed him to be. We are grateful for him and excited to be celebrating him today.

Caleb is definitely the child that has grown so much in one year.  Currently, he has grown to be more understanding, gentle, loving, cooperative, and focused.  He still is very inquisitive, independent, crafty, outdoorsy, and loves anything technology and Nerf.  

Happy 12th Birthday, Caleb!
We love you, little man.
Celebrating Caleb today was a challenge due to the craziness of the kiddos' schedules right now.  We were able to quickly come home after school to sing, open presents, and hang out for an hour.  Caleb also got to enjoy Willy McCoy's dinner last night (he and Ian agreed and chose together).  Thankfully tomorrow we will get to celebrate with six of his buddies over here playing Nerf and going sledding in all that new snow we just got.

Advent Day 15

Attend the Legacy's Christmas Choir Concert

Not a favorite Advent activity or one liked at all, but it was still enjoyable since we got to hang out as a family and more importantly, watch Elyse perform.






Ian Turns 9 Years Old

Today our littlest boy reached his last single digit, 9!  He was beyond excited for his day, the first one up as a matter of fact.  We almost had a snow day as it is a beautiful winter wonderland today, which kind of describes him; unique, beautiful, sometimes shocking, and yet always a joy to see..  Love him to pieces and love celebrating him today!

Ian can best be described right now as, responsible, kind, a lover of Jesus, intelligent, competitive, creative, and dependable.  He still has many same loves as the last few years and some new ones; they include, math, little squishy animals, Legos, games, puzzles, video games, school, and basketball!

Happy 9th Birthday, Ian!
We love you so much.

Today was a really busy day and unfortunately celebrating him at home was difficult.  He still got his basketball theme, got sang to, opened his gifts, and ate at the restaurant of his choice, Willy McCoy's..  We will get to celebrate him more on Sunday with ten of his best buds playing basketball and laser tag.
