You

My Jaxon, you are 4 years and 8 months.  Many think you are 6 because you are so tall! 

 You love baseball and have 4 or 5 Padres shirts that you wear all the time to prove it. 

Right now, when you wake up, you hit the ground running.  Literally.  When your feet hit the floor, it sounds like you've jumped from the top of your bunk.  We are still working on having "quiet feet". 

Your latest fascination is dressing like an Egyptian.  You love to watch "Ten Commandments" just to see the Egyptian attire.  You often ask me to make you costumes out of foil.  It seems to work and I am getting pretty good!

You have a knack for puzzles.  Your favorite one right now is a 60 piece of the US.

You LOVE geography!  You know many of the states and their capitals and you know all the continents and some of their countries.

You are learning to read and know how to spell some words.  Like, "cat", "dip", "dad", "mom", "love" and "Jesus".  You know, the important ones.  :)

You are sooo excited to learn to swim.  You keep reminding me that you need to get lessons.

You take a shower all by yourself.  You actually do a great job.

You can down a double-double from In-N-Out with ease.  You eat like a teenage boy.  We will need a second income just to feed you when you actually are a teenager.

You love bugs.  Pincher bugs especially.  You think it's funny when they pinch you.  Bleck!

You are so tender with your sister Maia.  You carry her around, put her in her walker and take her out of the highchair.  She lights up when you're around

You love Jesus.  You love to talk about the Gospel.  You love to memorize scripture and you love to pray.  Your tender heart prays for Japan lately.

Your prayer for Japan:

"Dear God, Thank you for Japan.  Heal the people from their sin, help them to have a new heart and make them alive again. Take the big wave away from the Pacific Ocean.  In Jesus name, Amen."

Jaxy, you bring me so much joy.  You are a blessing from the Lord and I love you.
