Be forewarned. This is the first of several similarly themed posts. Between June and July, we celebrate four birthdays around here.
But they’re all important. The older I get, the more I see time rushing past. I can’t stop it. But I can do all I can to squeeze every bit of joy out of each and every moment.
Anyway, you might have guessed by the title, he’s 16 now.
And, around here, the birthday boy gets to do whatever he wants to do.
Okay, not anything. I’m pretty sure his anything would not have included coloring the kids menu while being critiqued by his brother.
Or eating at a table as the oldest child, surrounded by eight younger siblings.
But it definitely would have included this, his favorite Buffalo Chicken Sandwich.
And, for sure, his much-doted-on baby sister.
Heck. It might have even included the whole crazy crew.
Or maybe not.
I’m not asking. Because either way, I think you’re an incredibly cool kid, Asher. Big and strong on the outside and sweet and silly on the inside. And I’m so excited to see the plans the Lord has for the next 16 years.
Lots and lots of love,
Your Mama (who feels like she should be celebrated on your birthday too because you weighed over 9 pounds and she was unmedicated)
