Oh Cohl!

Happy Birthday Buddy! 7 years ago God introduced us to Cohl. What an amazing day! We have so enjoyed being his parents and are continuing to learn how to parent an energetic, super smart and observant boy. He can make a friend with anyone and has become such a role model in his class already. He is a joy to be around. He was such a great encourager of his sister Kirra this year when she started school that it gives us hope for him looking out for both sisters as they get older. He has a sensitive side about him that makes you just want to squeeze him. One of our all-time favorite quotes of Cohl's is when his response to us saying, "come on outside," was," I'm and inside guy." You see he was thinking about playing on the computer...and he was only 4. We still laugh about that. He has become such a fantastic swimmer and loves to play soccer. We are excited to see how God will shape him and what this year holds for him.
We were finally able to do an outside party this year at one of the local "splash parks". The kids were nice and cool but we parents baked.
Fun with friends.
