How does time speed faster and faster? Today our boy is 9 years old! The last year of single digits! Time for a time warp to remember all the changes. In some ways it does seem like 9 years, and in some ways it seems much shorter since I can still clearly remember the events of my pregnancy and his birth and baby times.
It has been fun getting to know this person that is a combination of me and Brent and yet very much his own person. We are very grateful that we have many good friends and family and that he has a great group of young friends to grow up with. He is becoming more of a spiritual person and getting more active within the congregation which warms our hearts as he builds his relationship with Jehovah God. He does well in school and loves music and all sorts of creativity. We can't wait to see what the next 9 years brings us - hard to project that far out when he would be 18 and "all grown up". Life is an adventure...that is for sure, and we are all along for the ride. Enjoy the time warp in picture memories...hard to pick out a sampling to share- we have so many great photo memories on the computer...helps remember all the little details of his growing up.
