The Boos Brothers!: Camden is Six!!!!

Happiest Birthday my sweet Camden Boos!!

I feel like I just wrote you a letter, yet it has actually been one year since my last.

This past year has been a whirlwind for our family! Sometimes I feel like we have all lived a few years packed into this very one.

Mommy and Daddy worked incredibly hard to develop our dream, Releve’ One. We truly believe, despite our hectic schedules, that we are teaching both you and Dashy to chase your dreams with heart, soul, and integrity. And although we constantly strive for more balance, we are committed to the strength of our family and doing whatever it takes to grow together in love and support!

We also moved into our brand new home that we spent 8 months building. When I walked through the doors for the first time after we closed on our home, unexpected emotions came over me. For it is within these four walls that I will watch my boys grow from children into men! These four walls will see us through many trials and tribulations! Within these four walls, it will one day become very quite when you and your brother head out to make lives of your own! I know it’s the natural progression of Life, but it still moves much too quickly! Please slow down, my son!! Don’t grow so fast!

Yes! 2013 was a big one for us all, including one of your largest milestones to date…Kindergarten!

This summer, my anticipation was equivalent to your excitement toward your very first year of school.

One week before you were to begin Kindergarten, I went up to your bedroom to look in at you, (as I have done every night since you were born), and couldn’t believe how much space you took up in your bed! From my teeny tiny Lookalou to my big boy in the blink of an eye!

So Fast- and as you know, it’s TOO fast for your Mommy.

It’s hard to believe that six years ago this eve, we were in the hospital awaiting the arrival of you, our soon to be first-born son! And tonight, as I type this letter, you are across the room practicing your form as a yellow belt in Tae Kwan Do class!

This year, you have grown from a little guy to an inquisitive kiddo. Your laughter lights up my world and your love and concern for others reminds me that Daddy and I are raising a young gentleman.

You amaze me with what you’re learning not just in curriculum but in the skills that I feel will take you farther through Life than any textbook could ever teach.

Your light is radiant, true, and I KNOW that the little baby I held in my arms for the first time 6 years ago is going to shine his whole life long!

My wishes for you:

1. You continue to journey with zest and confidence

2. You love your brother more with every passing day and always see him as your best of friends

3. Family remains of utmost importance

4. The love you hold in your heart never goes unspoken

5. Your laughter and joy changes the lives of others

6. Grace is your second nature

7. You always hold doors open for ladies

8. And of course: You dance like no one is watching your Whole. Life. Long!

My heart is full of pride for the incredible little man that you’re growing into, and I thank God daily that I was chosen to be your Mommy!

I Love Love Love You, Camden Boos!!
