Jack is 9!!!

Today is the birthday of my second son, Jackson Dean. He is 9 today. It is hard to believe how fast time has gone.

In honor of Jack's day, here is the Jackson Top Nine:

1. His laugh. It is seriously the best laugh there ever was.
2. His sense of humor. He is silly and bizarre.
3. His love of all of God's creation.
4. His heart for others. He has a gift to connect with other children and people, young and old.
5. His self confidence. He is not intimidated by anyone or anything. He knows who he is and is confident in himself.
6. His love of animals. He is happiest when he is learning about animals and not just everyday animals but special species. He can rattle off bizarre and interesting information about a lot of animals.
7. His laid back, care free spirit. Very rarely does he get uptight or upset about things.
8. His hugs. He squeezes hard and in those hugs you know you are loved by this precious boy.
9. His prayers. He always volunteers to pray and boy can this kid pray. His prayers are from his heart.

There are many more things that make Jackson who he is. I thank God for the joy and blessing of being his mother. I look forward to seeing all that God has in store for him. I believe that he has the amazing potential to do amazing things for the Kingdom of God, I look forward to seeing it happen.

Happy 9th Birthday Jackson!!!
