My baby turned 10! How can this be!?! 2009-2019...wow! Well I got back from my San Diego trip on the 16th, so I tried to prepare a little ahead of time and got his presents all ordered and his sign for the door made. The 18th fell on the Thursday before Easter so they had an early out from school. We were able to drive to Wayne and pick up Eli Hansen for a sleepover that night. The boys played nerf guns, trampoline, basketball, destroyed the piñata, ate pizza, watched Ralph Breaks the Internet, and played some Nintendo Switch. Friday morning they went fishing for a while with not much luck. That afternoon after dropping Eli off we stopped at the Concord park for a long time. It was a beautiful day!!! We have had a lot of those lately. For his birthday we got him an Avengers Endgame Lego, Gil is going to take him to see that movie tonight, and a Mario shirt and a Cabbage Patch doll (he was the only one who didn't have one yet!).
Jude, you are all the things your birthday door sign says you are! Most of all you are YOU and we thank God for you. It has been so fun to see you grow and change and learn these past ten years...maybe not ALL fun, but definitely all JOY! You are our experimental child (just like dad and I both were in our families), so sorry that we mess up and expect more than we should sometimes. Thank you for being patient with us..."patience is a virtue!" Some of my favorite things about you are your love of reading (dad and I have that too!), love for creating, love for humor, and general enthusiasm. I love that you are a good communicator and have so many interests. I love that you are playing basketball and baseball. I like to watch you play and improve. I am happy you are going to try camp for the first time this summer. I love that you are doing 4-H. And I love that you are 10! I know I feel that these years go by too fast, but they have been good and we have done them, every one, every day, together. Thankful and grateful and joyful.
Love you so much biggest boy!
And sorry, not sorry for the overload of pictures.
