Sixteen Years

Yesterday, our oldest child turned sixteen years old. Sixteen! It's almost impossible to believe that I've been a mom for that long. Or that Drew, that tiny little baby I held in my arms for the first time in the wee hours of the morning on July 27th, 1995, has grown into a young man who is both taller than me, and weighs more than me. He is such a gentle personality- so helpful, sweet, compassionate and caring. I'm so proud of him- I can't even describe it.
He had a fabulous day yesterday. He got to go with his Dad to Target and pick out a digital camera. He's been wanting one forever. He also got an I-Touch from us...it's not everyday that you turn sixteen! On Saturday, his Dad is taking him to Six Flags. He's super excited. I'm super excited to keep on watching him grow and change. He's going to grow into a wonderful husband and father someday. But for now- I am loving watching him be a fabulous teenager.
