Well, now it is official...!

We officially now have three teenagers! Three of my four children are now of the dreaded teenage age! My youngest son turned 13 on Friday! He is my most laid back, easy going kid and I am so hopeful that will stay the case as he approaches teendom! He and I got up very early and snuck out of the house for a mom and kid one on one breakfast! Then we went and did a little birthday shopping! He also got to have his special requested meal Friday evening! His choice this year was 'breakfast for dinner'! We had cherry crepe suzettes, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and oj (all of his favorites!)! Yumm-o!

I've included a picture of the man of the hour! Also, one taken of him in his Spiderman costume (which he spent a lot of time in for a while) : ) and one of him blowing out his candles!

It makes me sad that my kids all seem to be growing at the speed of light! You blink and they go from crawling to toddling to borrowing the car keys! Ah, sigh!

Daniel, we love you more than you can even begin to imagine! You are such a great, wonderful amazing person! Happy, happy birthday kid!
