thirteen

somehow this kid is thirteen today.  can't even believe it myself.  i've known it was coming for weeks yet still struggle to process this number.  

so how would i sum up Hudson?

this boy loves basketball~ but pretty much any sport for him is super fun.  he loves to eat and has the healthiest appetite~ he's always been a joy to feed.  he loves to dance, and is ridiculously good at it.  he loves yogurt, he loves operating anything with an engine, he loves people, he loves to help, he loves babies, he loves life.

he also loves his birthday present!  another pair of basketball shoes to add to his collection.

yes, the boy loves his shoes!  LeBron James shoes this time~ size 9.  he's been wanting them for awhile.  

i'm so thankful God chose me for you, Hudson.  it's one of my greatest honours in life, being your mom~ even on the hard days.  the fact that God intersected our lives and began preparing us for eachother even before your birth leaves me standing in absolute wonder...

Psalm 91 (NLT) is a chapter i chose for you, son.  my prayer is that you will grow in wisdom and truth and integrity.  i hope and pray this is your best year yet!
