Cody turned 11 years old today! Oh my! Has it really been 11 years since I gave birth to this sweet child?? I know that I could not be any prouder of who he is becoming. I could not ask for more out of a son than the joy he brings us.
Cody is an awesome big brother. He cares about Macie more than he would like to admit. Even in times when she drives him crazy he needs to know she's OK. Since her time in the hospital, he regularly checks in with me on her condition before going to sleep at night. (night time was the worse during her illness).
He is a little man of character. Even now as he enters those highly anticipated adolescent years he is still unnerved by unrighteousness in others. I pray that this quality in him will grow stronger and stronger as temptations get harder and harder.
He is such a great example to others. Today during our music camp at church, a couple of the leaders surprised him with a "happy birthday" pie in the face. It was in front of over 100 people and he just smiled. He really did take it like a man especially considering he never knew it was coming! I was so proud of his maturity.
He is such a blessing to us and to others. I thank the Lord for this boy!
