Alex, you have waited so patiently and it’s finally here. Your 16th birthday! What a year you’ve had. New school, new friends, and you crushed it. But more than that, as you do with everything, you made it look easy. You are the most humble, bright, funny and kind hearted person. You are the peace keeper of this family and I’m thankful everyday that I get to be your mom. You are Dad’s hype-man, Ethan’s handler, Maddy’s protector and my rock. You do it all without trying because you have the biggest heart and just want those around you to be happy. We notice, we appreciate it, and we love you so much. Now go hit the road and be safe… but don’t be gone too much. God has so much planned for you and I am so excited to watch this next chapter unfold. Happy 16th Birthday!! 🩵 @alex._.padlick
