12 years old

Claire, You are 12! The past 12 years have passed so quickly and we've focused on enjoying the journey. You've seen so much and done far more in your 12 years than most do in a lifetime. You are entering the 7th grade, successfully made the ECNL U13 soccer team, are focusing on learning piano, and working to maintain your straight A record. We couldn't be more proud of who you are becoming. You are kind, loving, stubborn, and strong. You don't get caught up in girl drama, extend kindness to those in need, and love to cook, and create. We love you! We spent the day at the drive through safari, which also had a petting zoo. We ended the day at the Natural Bridge Caverns. DQ Oreo ice cream cake--your favorite! We enjoyed the SAFC game where you were given a gift bag of goodies!

Gavin's 5th Birthday

Celebrated with popsicles at school! Our puppy, Ollie, was delivered to us on March 23rd while at Gavin's 5th birthday party. He is an Australian Labradoodle and the sweetest little snuggle dog we have ever met. We love him so! It seems crazy to think that a little over 5 years ago Gavin was born. Where in the world did time go? Mom and Dad are very sad to see this amazing little boy growing up so fast. He is so young and has been to so many cool places. I can't wait to see the young man he will become. This is his first year of living in the USA. Already he has learned to swim, he has so many new friends, he can count, he can say his ABC's, and now he is learning to read?! It is crazy, it seems like only yesterday he learned how to crawl. This year, he will be going to Kindergarten. He is super excited and we can't wait to see him learn so many new concepts and bring them home to share with us. I'm so happy that this smart, kind, funny, strong, and speedy young man...
