Henry at 11





This boy has been charming me with his dimples and giggly laugh since, well, forever.

When he was a baby, a woman in Target saw him and could not stop talking to me about his dimples. He had the chubbiest cheeks and these huge dimples and even now when he smiles, though he is no longer chubby, those dimples show up and just melt my heart.

By far my quietest and most tender child, Henry has a heart that I think is sometimes bigger than his body knows what to do with. He's not a pushover, but he feels things keenly, especially when things are unfair. I love him for it.

He is an amazing dancer, which we haven't pursued, but which he show cases when he's feeling the music and I know that its an expression of his inner joy.

In general he will fly under the radar, but he is not to be underestimated or ignored. He just goes about doing what he needs to do, quietly and knowing his own mind.

Henry really cares about what is right. He consistently makes good choices and is a wonderful example to others if they will take the time to notice.

I love this boy so much. I am excited for him to discover his talents, to find his place in this world and to live fully in the gifts God has given him. He is for sure a gift to us.

Happy birthday sweet boy.
