Double Digits!


My brown eyed baby boy turned 10 today! It makes my heart sad and glad all at the same time. I miss the little guy who always told everyone "hi-ya" and loved his meet-meet (blanket) but at the same time I am intrigued by all that he is becoming. He is so insightful and thoughtful, always making sure that everyone is okay. I love seeing his talents develop, whether it is piano, baseball or in school. I love that he loves to learn. I pray that this year he continues down these same paths and I hope he knows how much I love being his Mom!

WOW! It's hard to believe he's 10!! I remember when he was born! We were actually talking about Elijah Ben the other day. Katelyn said something that was funny and we laughed. Then she proceeded to say the same thing over and over again, expecting a laugh each time. Robert said "This is like Elijah Ben's 'Where's the Coke part joke!'" So see - we haven't forgotten you guys!!!

Elijah,
Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great day. It's hard to believe you are 10. You are becoming such a fine young man. We love you and are proud of you.

Ashley,
Ah, the days of "hi-ya" and "where's the coke part?" Such sweet memories!!
