countdown to double digits....

We have a 9 year old!



A pretty awesome kid. His teachers words, but I would definately have to agree.

He has a tender heart, a studious mind, a knack for drawing, an imagination that takes him to far away places, and a will to try his best.


Some thoughts @ 9....

*Austin LOVES school, and does very well.  Math and memory work are his strongest, easiest, subjects....but he does pretty well in everything.

*Pokemon cards are still organized and traded frequently

*Legos are his most played with toy

*A good Boxcar Children Book can be finished in an evening.

*Monopoly and Risk are board game favorites

*Sports are becoming more and more interesting. 

*Competition motivates the boy to do most anything....but you might want to look out if he loses :)

*Loves to play and fight with his siblings.

*Continues to hold the title for "slowest eater" at dinner.

*His household name is "Bob", compliments of Stella

We love you Austin!  Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Austin!

Man . . . time flies, doesn't it?

But, he can't be getting too old yet . . . he's still sporting the footy pajama's! (Faith still has a pair too)

You should be a mighty-proud mama . . . he is a great kid!
