on this day

eleven years ago I became a mom.
How this boy has changed me, stretched me, grown me, taught me, loved me.
The list is endless.
We have gone through so much together.
And I'm excited to see where this next year takes him.
Takes us as a family.
He graduates from elementary school in just three months.
Crazy I tell you.
This is a slightly altered version of his dedication page
that will appear in the yearbook.

Later today I'll have nine boys running through my muddy rain soaked yard
having airsoft battles, enjoying the jacuzzi, smores and a movie night.

It should be interesting!

Happy Birthday to our favorite son!
