Chosen Protector

... is what your names mean, and they surely fit you, sweet Seth Alexander! We recently over heard you telling your cousin that you weren't allowed to watch a particular movie. When he asked you why not, you replied that it was too violent and had "waaaay too much kissing!" Even though Daddy and I chuckle when you cover your eyes if you anticipate an on screen smooch, it secretly makes us proud when you cover Micah's eyes too. We have heard you stand up for your faith in God and your own personal convictions many times and it blows us away!

You are always on the look out for your little brother. "What about Micah?" is something we hear often. You read him stories and help to feed him, sometimes all on your own without being asked. I often wonder what God has in store for you, as he is preparing you in such a special way.

What a year of firsts it has been for you, including your first week at summer camp. I have to admit that your Daddy and Mama had a harder time with the separation than you did. When we drove up to visit you, you wowed us with the mature way you led us on a tour and assured us of the great time you were having. Of course then the first thing you handed me when you got off the bus when you came home was a soggy pair of dirty underwear and socks! Nice to see you aren't growing up too fast! :D

You are our family musician, our comedian, our assistant, and our little warrior. Happy Birthday, Sethie Boy!
