Happy 13th, Cole!



Cole, you are one of my best blessings. You bring me such joy and I love being with you. I love how you are always coming up with new businesses. I love how much you enjoy coin collecting and how much you know about coins. You are so curious and such a learner. When you get interested in something you learn all you can about it and it's so cool to hear all you know.  I love how adventurous you are and how you are always looking for new, fun things to do. I love watching you play soccer and watching you have fun with your friends. I love that you want to try to climb everything.
I love how you adore your siblings. You are so thoughtful and caring of others' feelings and you really show Christ in this way. I am so proud of you! Thank you for being so kind and for showing so much love. You make me feel special and loved and I know you make others feel that way too. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! I love you!

I love how you care for others' feelings and you choose to live joyously. Your desire to honor God is inspiring. I am so enjoying watching you grow. You are an incredibly hard-worker, and you show integrity in so many ways. You are a blessing! I hope you enjoy your day. I love you more than you can know.

Thank you for being such a blessing to this family and for loving us. Happy birthday! I love you so much.
