Xander is our little thinker. His desire to learn and figure things out just comes natural. Yes Xander, you do love your Legos and your books and your games, anything you can figure out or build. You are so patient as you build with your Legos and when you sit with your deep thoughts. Memorizing God's Word is another fun challenge for you that you do so well and comes so naturally to you. YOu are our thinker. I am so glad for other things in your life like our late Nana. I saw such compassion in your eyes in pictures mom took as you and mom tried to help her and yes save her. Nana taught you things you could not learn from books Xander and I am grateful for that.Your sweet sisters are such a part of your life. YOu are such a good big brother. I am so proud of my young grandson who has such a capacity to learn and love like you do. You are truely well rounded Xander and I know you are going to grow up to be a very special adult. You already are a very special grandson.You always have time to give Grandma a hug and make her feel so special even though we do not get to see each other all that often. You always make me feel loved and missed.You have so much going for you, your good mind, memorizing God's Word and your love and compassion. I am proud to be your Grandma.I am blessed with your for a Grandson.You make my world a happier place just knowing you are in it! Love, Grandma Terri

What wonderful pictures and such fun to hear about Xanders thoughts about things. It is almost like we live closer and can learn all about your children because we spend time together. Thanks for taking time to be creative and type it all in!
