Cavin is 17!

Yesterday Cavin turned 17 years old! He had an early morning soccer game so we ate a donut quick and headed out the door. 

His team does fine but severely lack a goalie, so they should have won but ended up losing 4-3. He has an incredible kick on defense so he is always booting the ball down the field. We then watched Deacons team annihilate in their soccer game. 

After the games, we came home and watched more soccer! He is like Ragnar in that they love to watch soccer. His two favorite German teams were playing, so we watched that and got lunch from Whataburger. His grandparents and Natalie joined us also for the morning. 

That evening he didn't want to do much, so he played video games with his brother and we played 5 crowns. 

I can't believe he only has one more year of his childhood. He is smart and motivated at school. He just took his SAT and ACT and is preparing to apply for colleges in the Fall. His favorite candy is airheads, he still loves hamburgers and chips and wipes out our pantry often. He likes to play most sports but especially soccer and football. He is almost 6'4 and 215 pounds. He still loves music and plays the cello at church and school. He is always joking and tells me several times a day "Just be quiet mom" as a term of endearment ;) He is a homebody and wants to be home when he is not at a school or church event, he prefers hanging with his brother to hanging with his friends. He is a good kid and is easy going. He doesn't share a lot but I hope he knows we love him and are proud of who he is.
