“MadMan” Maddox,
You are officially double digits and I cannot believe we’ve had you with us for a whole decade! You wanted a sports themed birthday party so we used our church’s activity center and filled it with all the sports (basketball, soccer, football, corn hole and volleyball) for our sports loving kid! You have such an energetic, optimistic, kind personality that makes it easy to celebrate you!! I love watching you with your friends- how you encourage them, celebrate with them and genuinely light up when you are around others! You have the most generous spirit- sharing anything you have with anyone that asks you for a favor. You continue to have an incredible smile and a resilience to get back up (whether if it’s physically picking yourself up after taking a hard hit on the soccer field or if it’s at school and you get a less than desirable grade- determined to work harder, to learn more, to be better). You continue to memorize verses at AWANA (almost finished with your third book out of four). You love being outside, watching football (really any sports event), spending time with family or arranging play dates with friends. You have your mama’s extrovert personality and love any opportunity to see others. You are so smart (working out complex math problems in your head), a hard worker (asking your teacher for an additional charter book to keep working on your reading and improve your grade - since reading isn’t your favorite subject- haha), and flexible to join whatever plan comes your way! We have Monday nights this fall, just the two of us, while Zander has soccer practice and I love these moments with you, cuddling and reading. I thank God that He blessed us a decade ago with your arrival- two weeks early (catching us off guard as you sometimes still do). You were always meant to be the member that completes our family and we are so thankful it is YOU!
Love you MadMan!
Love,
Your Mama:)
