Zeke turns FOUR!

He’s crazy about cats. Loves being rough and tumble. He is super adventurous and will try almost anything. His favorite thing is making people laugh, so he spends a lot of his time being as goofy as possible. He enjoys dancing around the living room to all the upbeat songs that come on. If you need a hype man, he is your guy (trust me)! And when he gives hugs they feel a lot like a football tackle.

To my boy who has so much JOY, perseverance, and strength. Those are some of your most noticeable traits. And, I seriously stand in wonder at who God is creating you to be. I’ve watched you already be a little protector. And watch out for others. I’ve watched you love everyone you meet. You’ve never met a stranger. I’ve watched you fight with all your might for the things you set as goals and want to accomplish. 

I pray all the time that I’m capable of shaping your soul without crushing your spirit. But I often fear I just don’t know how. 

You bring me the deepest belly laughs. And a lot of warmth in my everyday. I’m so thankful you are mine because you make my life so much FUN! 

Happy fourth birthday to one amazing boy! I can’t believe you’re four. But I’m grateful I’ve gotten to see those four years and watch you grow into who you are becoming. Keep growing. And learning. And loving 

❤
