It is very hard to believe that Lauren and Caleb are now in double digits. The time is flying by and I am so sad about it because I am loving the ages of my kids right now. They still want to spend time with mom and dad, their minds are still advancing, and they are full of questions.
Lauren:
You had a busy year with activities. You participated in softball in the fall and Spring, basketball, gymnastics and dance, (hip hop and lyrical). You also did run club spring and fall. You have really enjoyed running and I think Cross Country may be your thing come middle school. At the last second you also decided to try soccer for the first time since you were 5, and you played with 4th and 5th graders from WG.
We love your enthusiasm in the morning and know that you are tired or not in a bad mood if you are not happy in the morning. You don't like silence so fill any silence with talking or asking questions. Your friends (and their parents) would describe you as silly, funny and loyal. A friend's mom recently told me after you spent some time at her house, "Lauren is hilarious!" You have brought laughter to us this year in a time when we really needed it. You are also my emotional one, and the events of this last year have been hard for you to understand but we appreciate your honesty and questions. You have no filter and tell us everything you are feeling which we are so grateful for.
I feel like you only grow upwards. You can still fit in clothes you wore a couple years ago, except for pants which have gotten too short. You are gaining muscle mass through gymnastics and we love your dimpled smile.
We decided to do a birthday party at home this year. You invited 6 friends over and spent the evening doing tie dye, sitting in the hot tub, playing Among Us, and playing the saran wrap game. It was loud but fun!
We can't wait to see what this next year brings for you. We love watching you compete, (you will be doing competitive gymnastics), this year. Thank you for making us laugh, keeping us grounded and reminding us to enjoy life to it's fullest.

Caleb:
If anyone has a conversation with you, they would think you are older than you are. Besides being the tallest in your class, you are incredibly smart. We love your intelligence and hope you continue to embrace it. You and dad can talk about sports all day long and you love any statistics regarding sports. We should have built a gym in our house as you would use is all the time. You are outside rain, shine, or snow, shooting baskets. Depending what season it is, you will spend any free time focusing on that sport, throwing the baseball or football around or shooting baskets with your sisters.
You are naturally talented in every sport you do but we hope you remember that hard work is needed as well to excel in these sports, and it's always important to continue working on good sportsmanship. You are in ELP for math and are starting to enjoy reading more. You would prefer to read every sports book with statistics but are willing to branch out a bit recently.
You love your dog so much and snuggle with him lying on the floor every morning. As before, you continue to have quite the appetite and love to snack after school. Unfortunately, whenever you are sick, you tend to be sick for days and take longer to recover when compared to your sisters. You are a trooper when we travel with the Modracek's and we all enjoyed a spring break trip to Nashville and Gatlinburg together.
We can't wait to see what the next year brings you and are excited to watch you compete in all your activities. This year you did flag football and select soccer (DCG). You continue to play basketball with your WG friends and will play on a AAA baseball team through Johnston.
