Thirteen

He's a teenager now, our Trey. And such a joy all around. Fantastic sense of humor, equal parts sarcasm and goofy. Tall and handsome, he is maturing and growing so quickly, we can hardly keep up. Dependable, creative, sometimes-considerate, snuggly, energetic, and strong. He's used the quarantine to start regularly working out and improve his cooking skills. We couldn't have asked God for a better young man to make us parents.

Oh Trey, the next several years will be exciting and unpredictable and, more than likely, difficult. Don't ever forget that we and your grandparents are on your side, always here for you, always wanting the best for you. The Lord has great plans for your life, and what a privilege it will be to watch them unfold. We love you so, so much and are proud of you.

Happy birthday, Trey!
