13 years ago today.....

This little person entered our world - with no little ceremony.....


It's hard to contemplate just how much change has happened in the intervening years - but here's the proof:


He's not so little anymore (as I noticed when I bought him Men's size 8 shoes just two days ago!), but he's still a sweetheart. It's so wonderful to watch the person he's becoming, to watch him find his way, to watch him try out who he'll be once he's a man. He makes me proud just by breathing. He makes me prouder when I see how good of a big brother he is, when he lets me hug him still (as long as we're not in public!), when he remembers to take a shower without my having to nag.... :-)

Now if I could just convince him to clean up his room!

Happy Birthday Cameron! Welcome to becoming a teenager! Know how deeply you are loved.
