Our baby boy is no longer a baby . He has not been a baby for a long time. However, when we look at him we still see our baby. Everyday he is turning more into a young man and less of a child. As parents, it is scary to see the child that used to depend on you for everything becoming more and more independent.
Caleb has always been a good boy, and wise beyond his years and often times too smart for his own good. He has been a wonderful big brother to Madilyn. We could not have asked for a better son. Our prayers for him as he moves further into his teen years is that he will continue to grow not only in physical maturity, but in spiritual maturity.
The following verse comes to mind when we think about how we want our young man to continue to grow: Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity (1 Timothy 4:12 NIV).
Happy 14th Birthday Caleb. You are a blessing to our family and we love you very much.
