Ten

Double digits today and it's bittersweet.























Dear Ben,

My sweet valentine.
Happy tenth birthday!
What a year it has been for you.
You have accepted this adventure like a true champ.
I am amazed at how you have adapted and flexed to both of our new towns.
I love watching you grow into a great boy who loves and cares for others.

My prayer for you in this coming year is that you will continue to grow more in love with Jesus and care deeply for your family.

Put on your Full Armor of God Ben, so that you may withstand the ways of the world as you grow into an amazing big boy!

Love you bunches,

Mom

Trish, I can't believe our boys are growing up so fast! I'll have my 10 year old in just a couple months! You and Dave are doing a great job raising such fine young men. Hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
