better Late than Never...

So you are 8 years old Tripp!!!!!
I can still remember holding you on your little pillow when you were a tiny baby. It seems like it was just yesterday.
You have grown up so much and I love the person you are becoming.
You made a profession of faith in May and were baptised. I can really see Jesus in you by the way you treat other people and the little things that you notice around you. We were in the car one afternoon when you said, "Wow, look at that sunset, only God could create something that beautiful!

You go to school all day this year. I really don't like it but you really enjoy it. You have started reading chapter books. Sometimes you wake up early to read before school. We are so proud of you. You are soooo funny and sweet. You go out of your way to make others around you feel welcome.

You constantly challenge us with the questions that you ask us. You are very excited about all the things that you will be able to do when you get to heaven and although I hope you get to stay here for a long, long time, I am so glad that you can't wait to get there.

You tried out for your first play this year and got the part of Hobie in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. You knew your lines in no time and were a trouper through all the late night practices. All your friends came to see you in the play. It was so much fun.

You love to play outside with Jasper and Phillip and daddy. You love football, soccer and baseball. You played upwards football this year. Daddy was your coach. You really loved it and did an awesome job.
We can't wait to see how the Lord uses you. You are such a blessing to us.

We Love You SOOOOOOOO Much!!!


Daddy stayed home for your birthday and you got to stay home from school. We went to Cracker Barrel for lunch then daddy took you and Jasper to see Puss and Boots. You had to be at play practice at 5:00 but we ate pizza for dinner when you got home.

You loved playing this game at the table.

 




You and Jasper had a joint Birthday party at the end of November. You wanted a football party and we rented the park but the forcast showed thunderstorms all day so we moved it to our house. It didn't rain a drop until the party was over! You had so much fun playing football in the backyard with all your friends and daddy.

Everyone brought donations for World Vision so that you and Jasper could buy a goat for a family. You were able to get a goat and some chickens.


Happy Birthday to my First Born!
