Over the past 11 years we have been so blessed. Alexander is our firstborn and had taught us a lot about love, parenting, patience, hope, and so much more. His smile has been a joy. His laughter has brought us happiness. He has filled the role of big brother well, three times over. And he is now 11. Where has the time gone?
Last year he raised money at his birthday party for Haiti. This year he is doing the same thing for Japan. It is amazing to see him recognize that he really doesn't need anything (though wants are definitely still there), but that there are 1000's of people who do need basic help. I am so blessed to be this young man's mom. It is a gift for me to watch him grow and become all that God has created him to be. I look forward to seeing what great things come from him and through him in his next few years.
