Well I woke up a 5am to head out to the MAI 7th Annual Golf Classic. As I walked out the door I was remembering where I was exactly two years ago. I missed the 5th Annual Golf Classic for a much bigger event. At 5am two years ago I was attempting to help Lindsay through her labor at Whittier Presbyterian hospital. At 8:36am out popped Caleb Matthew Orr. Life would never be the same, life would never be as calm, and life has never been better.  It is amazing how a life can change so fast in just two years. Yesterday Caleb had his first full conversation on the phone, all by himself! Walking around the house just shooting the breeze with Grandma Orr. We were cracking up. To the left is a picture of Caleb I took today. We taught him how to hold down his ring finger so that he could make a number 2 with one hand. He learned how to do it in about 30 seconds. We will be celebrating Calebs birthday this year with a small family party in about two weeks. It’s going to be a Woody birthday party. Grandma and Grandpa Gray will be coming down to celebrate with us. We are excited for that. Well,  I want to end this post with a prayer for Caleb.

Dear Jesus,

I pray that Caleb would grow up to be a man who will strive to serve you and love others. I pray that through Caleb’s most proud moments he would keeps his eyes on you, and in his greatest failures may he understand your loving mercy and forgiveness. Give Lindsay and I wisdom to raise him up in the way of the Lord. God call on his name and tug his heart so that he would ask you to be the savior of his life. Protect him all the days of his life. Lord, surround him with your angels. Amen.
