Another 18 year-old!

I can hardly believe it, but my little Christmas baby turned 18 today. He was a "VBAC" baby, born 5 1/2 weeks early, but weighed almost 7 pounds anyway. Imagine if he'd been full-term! He is and was a sweet, delightful child, but the last year has seen him "put away childish things" and really start becoming a man. He graduates in the spring with his Associate's Degree from a local university, he has his first girlfriend (we don't let them even start group-dating until they are 16), but is keeping the relationship from being TOO serious, so that he can more easily leave on his mission in a year. He's grown up, slimmed down, worked out and is a total extrovert. Who woulda thought?! For his birthday, he got a brand-new suit - and it looks SHARP! He also got gift cards to restaurants so he can take his dates there, a new pair of good-quality tennis shoes and a movie to watch at his "friend party" this Saturday. He's just a joy to have in our family! Happy birthday, bud!

About Me

Welcome to our family blog! We appreciate you stopping in and reading about our family. Life is a journey in more ways than one.... this blog shares our joys and challenges with "homesteading" on just one acre in suburbia, raising a LARGE family, cooking, canning, gardening, adoption, waiting for the time to be right to move to the country (and preparing for that time), and finally, other musings of this mama's heart.
