Happy Birthday, Breven

Breven,
As I'm sitting here going through your birthday photos, I can't help but wonder where the time has gone! Wasn't it just Monday that we found out about you? And surely Tuesday was the day we welcomed you into the world. Wendesday was the day you learned to crawl, and Thursday was your first birthday, right?!?!? There's no way your really turning 2, I just know I miscounted somewhere along the way.
Your Mommy and Daddy are so thankful that God gave us you. You have added your own little character and personality into our family that we never knew we always wanted.
Your quick laughter, strong love and protection of your Mama, Daddy and Noah show us a glimpse into the compassionate, sensitive, silly man you will be someday.
We had no idea that when Noah filled you in on all your little brother duties, which included silliness and doing just as he tells you to, this goofy grin would be the daily product that gets us every time.
You have shown us over and over that you are your own unique little person. Being a little brother to Noah is no easy feat. He has such a strong personality, but you have proved that you can hold your own and won't just be his shadow. Please don't ever change that.
Your Daddy and I are praying that we raise you to love the Lord with all your heart, treat others respectfully, act like a gentleman, and prove yourself to be trustworthy, faithful, obedient and hardworking.
That's an awful lot for such a little boy to handle right away. But with God's grace, every day will take us one day closer to our vision for you.
And on those days when I need a little more sunshine than our cloudy state allows us, I am thankful for that little ray of sunshine that God has blessed us with .
We love you!!
Mama, Daddy and Noah
