8 years old

Well, I can't believe that it has been EIGHT years since God brought you into the world and made us parents. We continue to watch how God is working in your life...how He is growing you...how He is shaping you. 

You are such a sweet, kind young boy by the way you are so willing to share your things.  Just recently, we went to Vermont to visit our family.  While we were there, you collected many types of rocks.  When we got home you found out one of your new friends was having a birthday.  So you went to the rocks you collected and picked out a granite rock to give to him since you knew he collected rocks.  You absolutely melted my heart!

You are such a loving boy. I especially love how you and Tobias cuddle and play trucks together.  I love how you will play babies with Kyrie to show her that you love her.  And then there is you and Sophie...two peas in a pod...most of the time inseparable!

You are adventuresome! There have been so many  new things that you have tried over the last year.  Playing Upward basketball.  Joyfully moving to a new home and church (TWO times!).  Going tubing behind a boat.  Playing chess.  Going kayaking. Taking your swim floats off and swimming in the deep end of the pool after jumping off the diving board! There are many other things, but that is just a few. 

We can see the Lord moving in your life. We see Him growing you into the young man He wants you to be.  We are enjoying being a witness to His work.  We love you more than words could ever say, but remember He loves you even more than we do!

Here are a few pictures from the photo shoot we did!
