Happy Birthday Levi

Today our baby boy, Levi turns five years old. For those not familiar with Levi and his personality, he is very high energy and is wide open. He likes fast loud cars, guns, anything having to do with firefighters or the police. He is quick to shoot you, then arrest you, then try to rescue you from danger all in a few moments time, and he expects the same treatment in return. With that being said, his presents consisted of firefighter and police uniforms, fire rescue truck, and plenty of Speed Racer toys (the boy loves him some speed racer, almost as much as Starsky and Hutch).

IMG_2670 IMG_2668 IMG_2667 IMG_2688 IMG_2664 IMG_2685

Five things we love about our five year old.

1. We love the way he truly desires to help people, his desires to rescue and heal people is a God given gift that we believe he will use all throughout his life.

2. His imagination and playfulness, he will play out his desires, when he plays “cops” he calls Cameron “Starsky” or “Starsk” and Cameron has to call him “Hutch” or they call each other “partner”, and this has been the regular thing for months. When they play “Speed” Levi calls Cameron “Rex” or “Racer-X” and of course Levi is “Speed Racer”, and Laura is “Huggy Bear”

3. His love, he is always coming up to one of us and hugging us and telling us that he loves us.

4. His energy, we really wish we had the energy to keep up with him, he has an over abundance without question.

5. His persistence, we would all do well to learn from how he goes after what he wants and doesn’t stop.

Levi we love you for all of these things and more, Happy Birthday.


For Levi’s birthday we all went to Raleigh to a place called Adventure Landing and played video games and drove the go carts. Here is a video clip of some of our fun.
