Happy 11th Birthday Caedmon!!!

How can our firstborn be 11 years old already?! We are so proud of the young man Caedmon is becoming. He is so dedicated to all that he does - he wakes up early to read his Bible, pray, and run 2 miles. He has a huge heart and loves to make others smile. He is serious, compassionate, and tender-hearted. God certainly blessed us when he gave us Caedmon Luke!

He cracks us up... he has an alternate personality named "Bob." "Bob" gave Caedmon a birthday card with money in it...

B-Maw's book and $50! (That's 500 kwacha!)

He was so excited to get the entire Jerry Jenkins Red Rock Series from Mama Dee & Grandpa! (and see my pretty new red walls!)

Love his excited faces!

The entire Boy Meets World series!

His Wipeout cake!

A soccer ball figurine from Cambree!

A soccer pen from Cason!

Before school, all the kids gathered around the flagpole and sang to him!

Cason is almost as excited about Caedmon's birthday as Caedmon is!

His annual Mama Dee card! (next year, she'll just walk it over.... ;)

Waffles for lunch + grandparents with him on his birthday for the first time in 7 years makes for a great day!

His stash!

Watching the early morning opening!

New soccer cleats from Grandpa & Mama Dee!

And a new Zambian soccer jersey!

He had homemade fritters for breakfast, waffles for lunch, and we are having Papa Wes & Mama Lala over for chicken pot pie tonight. Then...the awesomeness of his party will be tomorrow!
