Happy Birthday Alex!

Yes, today my firstborn, my little boy, turned 10! I can hardly believe how fast a decade has gone by-- just like all parents say. It just seems like yesterday that we were holding him in our arms for the first time, chasing him around the house, teaching him how to ride his bike, taking him for his first boat ride, sending him off to school for the first time.

(his first day of kindergarten) How could you not be charmed by this adorable face? Those long eyelashes?

Pretty soon he will be going from driving this.....

to driving the real thing. (not a hummer though!) Ha!

We have all seen this ornery look before.....

and I am sure we will have to deal with some more shenanigans in his teen years.:)

We are so proud of the young man Alex is growing up to be. He has such a gentle, loving heart, a giving spirit, and a quick and curious mind. Jason and I can't wait to see what God has planned for him in the next decade of his life!

We love you, Bubs! You bring joy to our lives, and to the lives of those around you every day!
