Happy 15th Birthday Christian

So today was Christian's 15th birthday!  Where do the years go?  I still can't believe it.  We are so blessed by him. Sure there are moments I want to strangle him...he is a teenager of course and sometimes I am not sure I even know him and wonder what he did with my son who seems to have left his body and let someone else take over....but for the most part seriously he is a blessing.  His heart is pure and so sweet.  He is our one that loves life and lives it as though each day is his last.  He loves to laugh and I promise you if you are around him you will be laughing too.  He has a great sense of humor. You never know what is going to come out of this ones mouth...there are times I am in tears he is so witty and funny; other times I am utter shock at what he just said and you will find my jaw on the ground and yet other times I am telling him to shut his mouth because he has crossed the line. This one comes with no filter (I know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree)  I love this boy so much and am honored God has allowed us to be the ones to bring forth his life and raise him.  His courage, his drive and his willingness to embrace life with all he has is a testament to not only who he is but the adventure the Lord has still in store.  So for fun, look at him well about 15 years ago...adorable right?

and look at him now...happy birthday Christian!

 I love you so much!
