Happy Birthday Hunter!

It was 8 years ago today that Robb and I became parents. We were absolutely thrilled when Hunter Ron came into the world. We had prayed for this child for a very long time. Hunter has always kept us on our feet. As a baby, sleeping wasn't anything that he was interested in. After hours and hours of rocking, pacing, driving around the section, and watching numerous episodes of Baby Einstein and The Wiggles, we had survived Hunter's baby years. Whew! :) At 15 months his courage became so evident when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Although we seemed to be breaking down at times, his faith has always shown through. For 6 1/2 years, with faith that could move mountains, he has been praying for Jesus to heal his diabetes. Although sometimes he gets frustrated with the daily challenges of the disease, he impresses us with his maturity and responsibility of what he has to do to stay healthy. We are SO proud of him! Being the thinker that he has always been, he recently started his own detective agency. He prefers to be called 'Jigsaw Arnold' and will solve any case you bring to his attention for a small fee. (with half of the money going to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Right now he has about 10 cases that he is working on. He does not take his job lightly either. He has questioned suspects, sketched clues, and offered rewards for any valuable information concerning his cases. He has currently made over $20 doing detective work. He's an ambitious little boy! :) Hunter is currently a green belt in Tae Kwon Do and plays on the Hazel Rockhounds baseball team. Everyday he amazes us with his knowledge of history, geography, math, and everything else :) and also his awesome faith in God. A couple months ago he preached to our entire church about healing and the power of prayer. There was not a dry eye in the place. He gave an amazing message. We are so blessed by this young boy and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for his life. Happy 8th Birthday Hunter! We love you so very much!
