ALEXANDER BENJAMIN:

My Baby...

My Little Bug...

My Guinea Pig...

My Precious First-Born...

Is 13-years-old today!

8 weeks old


Where does the time go? We bought him a new Bible yesterday and the new Tim Tebow book. Matt and I wrote letters to him in the Bible and prayed over him last night, as we do every night. We each shared some fond memories that seem like just yesterday.

One of Matt's favorite memories: Going to the farm with good friends to hunt and ride 4-wheelers.

5-Years-Old
Words Fail me... There simply are none to describe the love in my heart and the gratitude toward God for trusting me with the care of this precious one who is becoming a young man right before my very eyes...

We had our family party for him last week.


13 Candles

Reading his birthday card from Gran
FINALLY!!!! We made him wait so long:)
Alex got to swim with miss Av at her swim lessons last week.
Such a good big brother!
Miss Penny, teaching Alex how to be a good swim coach.

Best Big Brother!
It seems like only yesterday we were taking Alex for his first lessons. He was a fish from the very first moment in the pool.

Alex's first swim lessons at 10 months old.
We are celebrating with his friends tomorrow night at a simulated indoor surfing place. Should be lots of fun!

We love you Alex and are so incredibly proud of the godly young man you are growing into.

Happy 13th Birthday!!!!!


1 Chronicles 28:9 & 20
"My son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever... Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord my God is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."

Love,
Mom
