Paul Turns Ten

Well, my boy is 10 years old. Where did the time go? While he is excited about getting to stay home by himself and ride his bike around the neighborhood without his mommy, I am crying because he only has one more year of elementary school.

Memories of Paul:
-escaping the house at the age of two and running down the street
-watching deer, turkeys and cows at Aunt Ruthie's
-wizard teeth...he'll never live that one down
-coming in bloody almost everyday for a month or two...just from playing outside
-the way the hair on the back of his head stuck straight up when he was a baby
-finding him sleeping under the crib one morning
-the joy we both felt when he started school :)
-building a lego gun the length of the living room with his dad

I pray that he will continue to grow into a wonderful young man who loves the Lord and serves others. These lessons can be hard to learn but he is smart and willing so I have no doubt that he will...eventually. :) I love you Paul!

Favorite past time

Em and I thought camping might be fun next summer. We could maybe meet somewhere in the middle depending on everyone's schedule.
