Seth's Seventh

That's right. - We are blessed with another seven year old in the family and we couldn't be happier! Seth Anthony Bailey is a boy who knows how to have a good laugh. He and Xander can really get into it.

When the Baileys visited Idaho last summer we got to see the "stick to it" side of Seth. At "Bear World" he quietly and patiently followed ducks and chickens around determined to catch one. I really thought he just might succeed. He was completely engrossed in the whole process.

Grandpa led Todd and the boys on a forever trip through the whole of eastern Idaho and into Wyoming in search of a good fishing spot. Seth kept pace with the big boys and that's saying a lot as there was much more walking involved than actual fishing. Seth was the only one who managed a catch for the day. He informed his Grandma that he caught a fish but threw it back because it was only a "fish-stick."

I appreciate Seth's confidence in grandma to prepare something good to eat. Now that's a way to warm my heart. We love the quiet determination of this boy and are excited for his year of preparation for baptism. Happy Happy Birthday Seth.
