This was taken 10 years ago when Blake was one and Evan was five. How can it possibly be that I have an 11 and 15 year old now? It is shocking what ten years will do!
So in honor of Blake's Birthday, I'd like to do a Top Ten for one of the coolest kids I know.
- He literally has one of the biggest hearts I know. This kid is thoughtful, kind, and generous. It's not lost on me that he is the most like my mom with his personality.
- His laughter can be identified in a room of kids.
- He loves life. Literally, he'll wake up excited, every. single. day.
- He is loaded with charm and good looks, and he isn't afraid to use them.
- He loves to write just as much as I do.
- Any of his problems can be solved with a slurpee from Speedway.
- He is tough and fearless. Not always a great combination for a mom to watch over, but it does make the sports more interesting :)
- His medical record includes 1 concussion, 5 staples, and 20 stitches in his face. I know he will brag about this someday.
- His eyes have more expression than his words do sometime.
- Kids love him. Parents love him. And pets love him. He is more confident than an 11 year old should be. I literally can't wait to see what the next year will bring for him!
If any one thing can remind you that life is short, it's baby pictures. There is nothing like going back in time and remembering how simple life was then. I know we didn't know it then, but that's the lesson we must learn.
I will repeat it for those of you who need reminding.
Life is short.
It will pass you by in a snap if you don't start noticing what is going on now.
Do what you love, and love what you do.
