Happy birthday to our favorite 15 year old!  Thank you for being strong and brave and enduring the last 6 months of "stuff"!!  We are grateful for you; you make us smile and laugh!  We love you very, very much!!

#10

I am proud of my #10!!  He is persevering with a family life that is chaotic.  School, baseball, church, friends....he continues to engage.  He's showing me what a strong, courageous young man he is.  Never give up, #10, never give up!  I love you!

I've Got Nothing To Say....

Only because I know nothing about football.  Wait, I do know "something" about football and I do have something to say...
#87 looks great (think gazelle) running in his football gear and
#87 knocked an opponent down who just happened to be running with the football and
#87 happens to be the sweetest 13 year old I know.
