Happy Birthday Daddy and Sydney!!

Today is Cory and Sydney's birthday. This year, they had the great opportunity to do something extra special!! Disney is offering a free visit to anyone ON their birthday. Well, that usually would end up costing money because who wants to go alone. But, because they share a birthday, they both are able to go for FREE!

So, that is where they are all day today. I've talked to them a couple of times and Cory said he is taking lots of pictures. I'll post those later. He also said that when you go for free on your birthday, they put a big pin on you that says, "Happy Birthday" and then they write your name underneath. So, all day, people have been wishing them a Happy Birthday. I'm sure they are going to have a great day!!

Cory,

Thanks for being such a great husband and daddy to your family! Thank you for being so patient and thorough. You are definitely the steadiness I need to balance myself out. Thank you for being the kind of dad who has no problem "babysitting" his own kids all by himself. I often forget what a rarity that is. Thank you for being so teachable and open to what God has for our family. You work very hard for our family... even when the going gets tough. You look for the benefit of all of us and not just yourself. You have a servant's heart and I often take that for granted. Thank you for being an example of Jesus with skin on. I pray that this year will be a year of tremendous growth for you and your Lord. I love you.

Sydney,

You are one of a kind!! That is something I hear often about you. You stand out in the crowd and you aren't afraid to do it. You have a strong will and you do not easily bow to peer pressure. You have little to no boundaries and can make a room fill with laughter. But, the thing I love the most about you is that your heart is SOLD OUT to Jesus!! You love to learn and love your God and you absolutely love to share that knowledge with anyone around you. I am so thankful that God gave us you only 7 years ago. I look forward to seeing your relationship with Him flourish this year and the years to come. I love you.
