Five.

Jesse Bear.

Five years ago this early, early morning - you made me a Mama of two. And just like the little boy that you are today, you came into this world fast and wild! My sweet, crazy Boy Joy ~ you are awesome, Jesse. You are so full of life and love and joy and laughter. You are contagious! You are equal parts tough and tender, and I love the combination of YOU. I pray that you will grow to be as passionate about Jesus as you are about the rest of life. I pray that you will seek Him and love Him loudly, and fully, and wildly! You are already a leader...learn from the Greatest. Purse Him. Fall madly in love - and hang on for the ride! Thank you for the joy and the crazy that you bring to our home. Thank you for the lessons in learning to loosen up and to just let go. And thank you for the sweet, tender side, as well. I will take the Jesse Bear Hugs and kisses for as long as you will dish them out. Happy Birthday, Love!
