Happy 12th birthday to our favorite young man! Levi has been a joy and blessing to our family from the moment we brought him home. His humor and wit has been far more mature at each stage of his life and he continues to be the most funny person I know. Levi likes being the youngest of the family and the only boy and he handles both with excellence. He is the bravest child we have…investigating weird noises with a hockey stick or other weapon of choice at the ready. He pulls out the gopher traps when they are triggered not caring if there is a mangled dead animal on the other end. Levi is also very thoughtful and kind to his sisters. He continuously asks the girls if it’s okay that he eats the last of something and we hear all the time “it’s okay…I’ll take that one because I know the girls will like the other”. It can be frustrating at times when we want his opinion or to do something nice just for him and he immediately thinks of what Erika and Laurel will like. But if that’s the only hiccup in their relationship I should count my blessings! He is selfless and kind and independent. Levi has no problem making conversation with anyone….his age or an adult. He appreciates others and is a friend to anyone. He made the transition from elementary school to middle school like he was born for it. He likes the more fast paced day and learning and his teachers have already seen what an asset he is to any classroom. He continues to be the most diligent worker….the first thing he does when he gets home from school is pull out any homework he has to complete it right away. And we never have to ask him twice….usually we never even have to ask him once…to help with any chores around the house. Levi does not like being wrong and especially doesn’t like when the wrong is pointed out to him. Each year he gets more and more able to realize when he needs to remove himself from the rest of the family and will just quietly go to his room to cool off. It’s hard to witness sometimes because I still see my baby boy in him who was always smiling and happy go lucky so when he gets upset and angry it hurts. Levi has become really involved in our church family, asking to help lead worship and read scripture and do the A/V booth. He loves to serve and loves God and has a true heart to do what is right. Levi loves Legos, fruit bowls, canoeing, pork chops, being outside, driving the go-cart, Airsoft, milkshakes, and Roblox. He doesn’t like shopping, hot dogs, going to his sister’s soccer games, folding laundry, or practical jokes. We are blessed by his love, humility, servant heart, compassion, and kind example that he demonstrates every day. We love you so much Little Man!!
