Happy Birthday, Caleb!

Today we celebrate the birthday of a very special member of the McDonald household. Caleb turns 12!

I can't believe how time flies. I know that I say that so often, lol, but really and truly I can't believe it.

I can still remember clearly the day that I first saw Caleb. He had big curious eyes and puffy round cheeks. He was my baby brother, I'd affirmed. And how proud I was.
Originally when Mom went in for the ultra sound and found out she was to have a boy, I cried. Yes, I'll admit it, little 5 (almost 6) year old me wanted a baby sister. But when Caleb was born and I saw him for the first time, I knew that he was precisely what I wanted. So a baby brother I had.

I wish I could get our silly copy machine to work, but it's still being stubborn as a mule, so I can't put up any "old" pictures. :-) So y'all will have to just bear with me through the more recent photos. :-)

Please join my in wishing my not-so-little-anymore brother a Happy Birthday! :-)

Happy Birthday Caleb, my precious brother. I love you!

In Christ Alone,

Jessica
