Today our youngest son turns 13 years old. No more "babies" in the house. sad sigh :(
Only young men now!
From Mom- My, how the time has flown since you were born, my son! I remember how your favorite position was to lay across my tummy when you slept as a baby! You are still my cuddly bug, and I love when you snuggle up next to me with hugs and kisses. Now you are growing into a young man, and learning to be a diligent and hard worker. You are my yardwork and gardening partner, chef-in-training, animal husbandry helper, and assistant laundry care, as well as my travelling buddy, companion and good friend!
You are also Ben's technician friend-always ready to help tear apart some tool, appliance, plumbing, electrical or whatever project, and sometimes even pretty good at putting it back together again! You are TJ's "hold the end of this" and Daddy's "go get me a____" person!
You are always up for a good game or activity, you are adventurous, fun-loving, and full of energy! Being still and quiet just isn't one of your most obvious traits yet!!
Your name means "One who is like God" and we chose this name for you on purpose. We hope that you grow in God's grace this year, and become in your heart and actions a man after God's own heart.
We love you very much! Happy Birthday to you (in four-part harmony, of course!) !!!
"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life- in order that I may boast in the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing." Phil. 2: 14-16
