Happy 12th Birthday, David!

Hi, History Boy turned 12 yesterday. And he's okay with his name being public. So, this is David. And here are 12 amazing things to love about him:

12. He loves mac and cheese. I mean l.o.v.e.s. it! No portion is too big or too cheesy.

11. He loves Gus, his one-eyed, no-nosed 11 year old Teddy Bear.

10. He's called History Boy because, funny enough, he loves history. If you have any questions, just ask. He'd like to be a history professor when he grows up.

9. Favorite era in history? All of them.

8. He loves it when his reading of history and reading of the Bible enrich each other.

7. Lord of the Rings freak.

6. Goes barefoot in hopes of creating Hobbit feet. (ahem...he's nearly there--his feet are eeeewy!)

5. The escavation of his room should be a Dirty Jobs episode. A favorite show, BTW. :)

4. No portion size of pancakes is too large, either. Preferably with r.e.a.l. maple syrup.

3. He is a faithful and loyal friend.

2. His bear hugs could crush a small elephant. He's very affectionate.

1. He still loves his momma.

May the Lord bless and keep you, David. May His face shine upon you and give you peace and may He be gracious to you. And may I always be as grateful as I am at this moment for your presence in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.
