DOUBLE DIGITS!

We celebrated Caleb's Birthday with the sunrise.  Since it was a school day we were up early enough to have a little family party before we all headed in separate directions.  The timing couldn't have been more perfect, Caleb opened his Harry Potter set and leather jacket while it was still dark, then came outside for his big birthday surprise just as the sun painted the sky pink.

Two weeks later and Caleb has already been to the beach two times.  Once with his best buddy Jake, and then with his new friend and instant surf buddy, Braden.

Happy Birthday, Caleb!  You are a wonderful son, a good and fun friend, 

a marvelous grandson, and an authentic Christian young man.  

Watching you surf is such a thrill.  It reminds me each time you run 

confidently out into the waves that you are growing up!  

I thank God for the gift you are to us all.
