Dear Caleb,

Today, you turn 9 years old!  You've grown so much

this year!  We couldn't be more proud of you.  You work hard

and play hard!  You love playing basketball, Wii, baseball,

your new DSi, and games with your brother and sister.

You also write some pretty interesting songs.  You can be

very sensitive sometimes.  Your Dad and I often joke that's

the minister's heart coming out in you...I guess time will

only tell!  Your favorite color is blue.  You hate Math but LOVE

Science and anything to do with bugs or animals.  You can

remember and quote Bible stories like no one's business.  In fact,

the day you got your DSi, you called your sister Saul and 

proceeded to tell us exactly why you called her that! Ha!

Like I said...minister's heart!  You've started to mellow in your

"old" age! ;) But trust me, you still have tons of spunk.

You are a follower!  You like to blend into crowds, but boy do

you have zest for life and all that it has to offer.  You often

talk about taking over your PawPaw's pest control company!

You'd actually be really good at that and it would definitely 

make your PawPaw happy!  After all, you are 

Caleb Thornton Sullins, the namesake of the Thornton family! ;)  

We love watching you grow and your personality take shape.  

You are a wonderful little boy with a big imagination!  

I can't wait to watch God's plan for you unfold! 

We love you, Caleb!

HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY!

Mom and Dad
