Nine years and growing ...

I have been looking at my son, now nine, this week and I'm simply amazed at the person he is turning into. It seems like just yesterday that he was an infant snuggled in my arms, learning to walk and talk. I love being his mom, teaching and nuturing him. Now, just nine short years later he is an amazing person with qualities I wish I could take credit for ... instead I simply look at him in aw ... He is of strong faith, kind and compassionate. He loves sports (baseball just started) and always gives his all. He pours himself into his music, and can often be found reading , generally starting his day at 6am with tea and his book, currently Inkheart. And he simply loves being outside playing. I love that about him ... I love watching him run in the yard and listening to his laughter ... it's infectious ... He puts his whole heart into whatever he does. I am ever so thankful for him ...
