and another martin boy is another year older

by Rachel Marie Martin

that boy?

That would be my Caleb Daniel.

aka
Creda Boy
Rooney
Dub-oo
Cay-yub

He’s six years old today. He was born at 6:58am, and I’ll tell you, he’s up at that time every single morning. First one to rise, first to give me a sweet hug.  It’s a big birthday when you have to start using your second hand to show others how old you are. My Caleb is an amazing boy. Simply amazing. He’s prayed for my shoulder any time it’s bothered me. He prays so often — I’ll see him praying and hear his words. He teaches me through his own diligence and reliance on prayer.

I love doing life with him by my side. I love being his mother.

You know what? I’m so completely blessed to be his mother.

And so today, I write in honor of him and his birthday.

Happy Sixth Birthday Caleb. I love you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CALEB!!!!!!!!!
Trying to get caught up on what I missed while I was sick. Samuel’s looking way to old in the pics! Glad to see he’s smiling even though he was sick.
Still here praying in Seattle!
