Oh how the time has flown by.  This handsome man is now 13, looks like he's 17 and makes me so very proud to be a mom.  I love every last thing about him.  He's such a joy to my heart.  I'm so proud of his drive, his dedication to everything he attempts.  It's so exciting watching him grow, but please slow time down as my heart is not ready to let him become a man quite yet.
