Our big guy!!!
I cant believe that he is going to be 5 in just a couple of months. Where in the world have all the days
gone and why did they fly by so quickly?!
Keenan boy is thoughtful, tender hearted, laid back, loving, and
incredibly smart. He knows no
stranger especially when it comes to kids and anyone in our house feels welcome
because he goes and greets them with a flashing smile and handshake. He has been an extreme blessing to us
from day one with his go with the flow attitude and the way he can bring joy to
every situation. He has a million
questions of why things work the way that they do and has an iron clad memory
of events. There are many times
when he reminds me of something that I have to think really hard back to to
remember the details that he is talking about. He still hugs and snuggles his mama. He remembers when people have been sick
and asks if they are feeling better.
He always asks for a hug after being disciplined. He is quick to say he’s sorry and ask
for forgiveness. His giggle is the
best in the world and contagious.
He protects his little sister and talks to her in a ridiculous
high-pitched voice all the time.
His heart for the Lord is developing and he is starting to understand
that He is real and his prayers are getting more and more sweet as this
realization deepens. He LOVES
super heroes and it makes his entire week just to have his mom or dad put on
the masks with him, grab the weapons and fight the bad guys in the back yard. He
loves sports and can throw a perfect spiral. He can tie his own shoes. He is starting to reason with me for why I should let him
watch shows or do the things he wants and his reasons are pretty
entertaining. His entire face
lights up when he figures something out.
He is growing up too fast and where my little baby was just a little
while ago is a young boy with ideas, love, understanding, curiosity, and
compassion. Words could never even
come close to touching the depths of awe and love I have for my Keenan
James. I am praying that his
tender heart would never harden by sin’s deceitfulness. That he would always seek truth and
find the Lord in every situation and question. I love you, big guy!!!!!
Favorite Keenan quotes:
“I just bonked
my head so hard, but I think a kiss will work.”
“If I’m wearing a nice button shirt today, Im going to need
my spidey sense” (his cologne)
Mom, we need to chop down the coconut tree!” “Why?” “Because a ball got stuck up in
it!”
After kneeing Elliot on accident, “My knee was being selfish
and thinking only of hisself. He
wasn’t being a blessing to Elliot.”
After school one day I asked him if he had rested during
rest time or played and got into trouble and he told me “I got into a little
trouble but I told myself to remember to do better tomorrow, so don’t worry.”
“Mom, Elliot just said punch you in the face!” “Im sorry
Keenan, I cont do anything about it at this second, Im fixing dinner.” “Well, I just wanted you to know.” I
think you just wanted him to look bad.” “No, I just wanted him to get into trouble.”
During the game of LIFE “Hey Keenan, you got married!” He gives me a high five “Yea, I got a
BEBE!!”
“God, I think it’s so cool how you can just say something
and it’s there. I think it’s so
cool how you can just walk through walls and come in here. You are everywhere! You are so powerful. You are so strong. You are so fast. I just praise you for that!”
