Soccer family...

All the Hoffman United teams at the tournament this past weekend in beautiful Lake Geneva!!!

God blessed us with perfect weather!!

Main Street had some of the cutest shops... We had fun walking the quaint downtown between games:)

There is the most charming walkway right on the waters edge all along the lake... The lake is beautiful... And the houses??? 

Well, take a look for yourself... Crazy amazing!!  It was a beautiful walk...

He hotel had a perfect little water park to keep everyone busy and tire out he littles between games! 

Levi and Isaiah had a blast in the little kiddie area... 

Levi tentative and careful... 

Isaiah the bulldozer with no fear...

The kids enjoying the watermark... 

We were so blessed to have our friends the miltzes at the tournament with us...

They have 5 beautiful kids with number 6 due anyday...

From Anna on down their kids match ours pretty close in age and the kids have a blast together.  

It is really fun hanging with people that can relate to the large family life... We are so grateful for their friendship!!!

The whole crew!!

What a fun soccer weekend with lots of protection and special times together!

And just like that...

And just like that,  this little guy turned 17... 

Still as mischievous and funny as this day more than 15 years ago...

And just like that, he has the ladies... The lady cousins that is, fawning over him!!

In all seriousness, it is a joy to watch him and his cousins enjoy life together... They have such a special bond... They have grown up together... Cousins make great friends!

And just like that, he has grown into such a helpful and loving brother...

He is a HUGE help in our home and to so many others...

He is an extremely hard worker... dedicated... loyal... willing to do hard things...  He is very generous and  lovingly reaches out to even those that others may have a hard time reaching out to... 

I have loved watching him on missions trips to Uganda... It has been one of the biggest blessings of my life to serve alongside he and Louis...

The Lord knows exactly what and who we need... And He broke the mold when He made our Caleb for our family!  

Happy 17th Birthday Caleb... So very proud of the wonderful Christian young man you are growing into!  You are a gift each and every single day!
