 My dear sweet Caden,

I love you so much and love you more every day. You had a very busy week this week. You had a soccer game every night, except one night you had to track meet, and then this weekend you had a soccer tournament. It’s a lot to do. And I know you get a little tired of all of it, but you did have Great games this week.

You and your family came to Florida this winter as always, but you only spent a few days. It was very quick. The one day we went up in rented glass, bottom, kayaks, and kayak with the manatees. So that was fun.

We have a newsletter from our community and you were reading it and wanted to know what time it was, so I told you the time and you said oh good shuffleboard starts in a few minutes can we go? You had a great time reading that calendar to see what all we could do. It cracked me up. We didn’t really have much time to do anything except hang out and go to the pool and drive the golf cart which you absolutely love.

I love you so much Caden and I pray for you every day

 My sweet Caden

I can’t believe you’re almost a teenager. You sure have grown fast. I thought it was fast when my own kids grew up, but it’s even faster when I watch my grandkids. You guys were just here in Florida to visit us. It was a short trip because no one had the time. But we sure did still enjoy it.when you first got here you sat down on the couch., And said Grammy come sit by me, and you just hugged me. Talk about melting my heart.

I saw your book bag on the floor Pairs of sunglasses beside and I said boy who brought all the sunglasses, and you said your mom told me to bring sunglasses! Too funny. And probably within the first 30 minutes you told me you can’t wait to drive. One of our neighbors came over to visit everybody and within two minutes you even told him you can’t wait to drive.

We went out to a restaurant and they had clause napkins, and I was beside you and I took yours and put it on your lap and probably 10 minutes later you looked down and said who put this here!

We have a little booklet that our community puts out and it has a calendar of everything going on during the day. You were reading it and at one point said what time is it and we told you, and you said in 15 minutes we can go play shuffleboard with everyone.

I sure love you so much, sweetheart, and I can’t Wait to see what God has planned for you.
