Elijiah is 13!

Elijiah Officially a TEENAGER! Oh man…what the next few years have in store is slightly daunting and a little scary for me…but Ill cross my fingers that you will continue on the path you are on…which lets be honest…is a remarkable one. You this last year have grown a ton…I think you sit at 5’7.5 or maybe your 5’8 now? LOL. I am sure this next year will see you surpassing me in height. We moved in to our new home and like always you took it like a champ. The time you spend is always sporadic back and forth between your dad and I and I know without a doubt it’s a challenge. The sports you participate in make it slightly more challenging but we do the best we can. So Mr Elijiah…my darling darling boy. We had a great year…another 4.0. Basketball, Soccer 4-5 times a week. Canada vacation, basketball tourney. It seems like the last few years have just been a continuation of the good stuff. You are such a kind loving sweet young man. Birthday this year was Airsoft…you just always make me smile, love our runs, playing soccer together, your old enough to babysit Whoot whoot…and your first crush! Adorable. I think you are over it in a official capacity but still friends. You are so considerate and kind and I am just so excited to be apart of your growing up! Your sister getting married and the distance between you two now has been hard on you, ( as with the rest of the fam) and I know that is something heavy around the house, however you keep your chin up regarding most things and keep going. Its what I love about your personality. You can get down, but you keep plugging along. It’s a wonderful quality. Elijiah – thank you for being who you are, the example you set, the kind, thoughtful, loving big brother and hard worker. I cant wait to see what this year brings. Xoxo mom
