Happy Birthday Blake!!!

 12 years old!!!

My young man...

growing,

too fast!

More ways that I hoped would.

This move to Texas has been a blessing for me.

I worried so much how you would make this transition into middle school with a move right along side it.

You have taken it in strides!

You have grown more confident,

more friendly,

and taking more risks.

You are so thoughtful and always making sure everyone else is ok.

You are so helpful, that mom and dad can always depend on you!

Your younger sister and brother look up to you and adore you, especially when you take the time to play with them.  They love you so much!

Even your older brother, in his own way, looks to you as an example and loves you!

You still love eating candy in a major way, love playing mindcraft, love to play your trombone and you are a huge soccer fan!!!

We see you growing spiritually, learning what is being in taught in the home and at church and becoming the young man we see in you!

We love you!
