Dear Caleb,

Today you are two! We can't believe how quickly the past two years have flown by. The day you were born was when our lives changed in more ways than we could've ever imagined. Daddy and Mommy are blessed to experience a love beyond all measures and find so much joy by having you in our lives. Your vibrant nature and excitement for life make us smile day after day. You have taught us how to appreciate the simplest of things. Everyday we look forward to the ways that you will make us laugh. We look forward to seeing all of the new things you will say and do. You are talking more everyday and learning new words all the time. You love to sing. You're obsessed with sports. You love to read and even have some of your favorite books memorized. You could spend hours outdoors and never get bored. You are trying so hard to become independent, sometimes at the cost of throwing fits until you do it yourself! You love to watch Mickey, Dora, Clifford, and Charlie Brown. Your imagination is growing each day. You could eat mac-n-cheese for every meal, yet you still manage to enjoy whatever food is placed in front of you and never complain. You love your dog and she has become your buddy. You're a great sleeper and have done so well with your big boy bed. You are a wonderful big brother and are beginning to show Leah just how lucky she is to have you to look up to. You still love to snuggle, kiss, and hug. You pray and it makes our hearts melt. You truly have the light of the Lord shining through you and we love how we can understand just how great He is by watching you.

We look forward to the memories that we continue to make together. God has given you the ability to touch not only our lives, but the lives of so many other people. Anywhere you go, you capture the attention of those around you. God has blessed you with abundant love from so many. Throughout life, we are certain that you will return that blessing by continuing to bring so much love to those around you. So today, Daddy and Mommy (and so many other people) are rejoicing because of the memories we've made and praying for SO many more years of memories to come!!!

We love you more than you'll ever, ever know...
