And now our youngest grand, Austin Ridgell, turned 5
Just a few days ago Anna Claire Ridgell, our oldest grandchild, turned 10. Then Sunday Austin Ridgell, our youngest turned five.
So here are a few of the reasons I love Austin.
Killer smile. He just radiates joy. The only problem is he knows how to use that smile to try and get away with things.
Five grandkids at cousin camp. Four try to get our little rescue dog in their tent. Not Austin. He went for Lucky, our Golden Retriever. Think big Austin.
Wants to do everything his older brother and sister do. Love that kind of fearlessness.
But he does not do what he does not want to do. Doesn't care if everyone else does something or not. Love that he makes up his own mind. Love he is not swayed by what others think or do.
Great hugger. He gives amazing, all-in, hugs. Because he has a great big heart.
He is 100% all boy. Loves playing ball, fishing, catching frogs, going on hikes, dogs, and playing in the dirt.
He is all action and energy.
He loves God.
Curious, energetic, fun, independent, intense, happy, secure in who he is.
So thanks God for the gift of joy in Austin. Give us all the energy to keep up with him and use his energy and passion in mighty ways for your Kingdom.
I love you Austin.
