Happy Birthday Caelleb

Dear Caelleb,
Let me start by saying, six? Really? Wow. Words simply cannot convey how much JOY you bring to our family (and this world, for that matter). I cannot image a sweeter child. Your smile can light up any room and your passion and enthusiasm for life are contagious. I am so proud of the BIG boy you are becoming.

6 Yr. Milestones
You played on your first t-ball team.
You graduated from preschool.
You were in your first wedding (ringbearer for Aunt CiCi).
You learned how to boogey board & intertube.
You learned how to write your name (legibly, for the most part) & recognize most letters in the alphabet.
You learned to count to 10 (with some help).
You started KINDERGARTEN!!!

Your God Given Gifts (these are gifts I already see developing in your life. I'm sure as you grow & mature there will be MANY more)
Blue-eyed power (J/K--couldn't resist) :)
Genuine desire to help anyone and everyone with whatever is needed (Help).
Compassion for people (Mercy).
Ability to make & keep friends (Encouragement/Hospitality).
Exceptional brother to Tia, Jamie & Vanessa (Encouragement/Hospitality/Help).
*I'm sure I have missed some, and I will continue to add to this list as I think of more!

Mostly, Caelleb, I just want you to know how much I love you. I cannot imagine our family without you & I am SOOO thankful to God for blessing us with the opportunity to parent such an incredible little (eh-hmm), BIG boy!

Happy 6th Birthday!

Love Always,
Mommy
