Another teenager?!!!


Yes, we have another teenager in the house. I 'm not quite sure we will survive. ;) I seem to think of Andrew as a perpetual toddler...after all, he was the world's cutest baby. My mind's eye still has a very clear picture of him: big head, big blue eyes, blond hair and chubby cheeks...in overalls and a striped shirt. I still expect to find those little boy clothes in the laundry basket. How quickly the time has gone. I am thanking Dr. Suess for my mantra this year; "Don't be sad that it's over, be glad that it happened." Yes, I know things are far from "over," but I swear I only blinked once and here we are.

In spite of my efforts to stop time, Andrew on the other hand, is very excited to be a teenager. He has taken to Jr. High and teenage life without a hiccup. He maintains straight A's and loves the increased freedom and privileges he is earning with friends (cell phone, later bedtime, night games, etc). And, he might even think there is a cute girl at school (but you didn't hear that from me).

He had fun celebrating this year. He chose to go to Moochies with the family for dinner (good choice!) and had a great party at the Rec Center with his friends. Mustaches compliments of mom. ;)
