Caleb

There are not words to express the love and pride we feel everyday having Caleb in our lives. He is a fabulous 13 year old!  Caleb is our water obsessed, busy kid.  Caleb works hard at everything he does and he excels at school and will be earning his Eagle Scout soon.  Caleb is super confident and willing to try new things, and he is also a very tender hearted, loving soul who still loves to sit and cuddle with Mom and Dad. 
He had the most smooch-able cheeks, ever!
 
Caleb is very talented in lots of areas and we are excited to see what he does in the future.  Right now Caleb is an amazing swimmer and has the goal to earn a swimming Division I scholarship at the school of his choice.  He recently competed at the Central US Zones Meet in Wisconsin and made the podium twice.  Once he sets his mind to a goal, he achieves it.  It has been fun watch him work toward his Boy Scout Eagle Award and he was so excited to build a training staircase of service dogs at 4 Paws for Ability.  We are so proud of everything he has accomplished and love supporting him in his goals.  
Caleb prayed so long to be a big brother and he loves his baby sister so much!  Not long after he turned two years old, he began praying daily for a baby to come to our home.  Through his amazing faith, he got a baby sister. He is so sweet, kind, and helpful. He wishes we had a big family, with lots of brothers and sisters to play with.  We are so blessed to have such a sweet boy as part of our family and we can't wait to watch him grow!
