Sunday Snapshot - JA

My oldest son, JA, will be having a birthday next month.  He is my sensitive child; he hurts when others hurt and he laughs when others laugh.  He loves video games and wants to be a video game designer one day.  He has a heart for kids who are hurting.  It is because of his prompting that he will have a 2nd little brother early next year. 

He is growing up - too fast.  He will be 12 next month and is only two inches shorter than I am.  He loves to wear a hat - always has. This son loves to eat - especially milk products.  He loves to read - Hardy Boys, Tolkein, Kipling.  He loves to spend one-on-one time with me or CP. 



He has been having a tough weekend.  That comes with pre-adolesence.  We are trying to sort through the hormones, emotions and testing that comes wat this age.    He is a wonderful son and I am proud to be called his Mom.

Awww, what a handsome young guy! I would say 'cute' but at 12, he probably prefers 'handsome' ;)
Love those freckles!
Happy Sunday!

Oh, how I remember pre-adolescence with my oldest! Being a sweet and kind hearted boy will carry him far!

That pre-adolescence stuff can be hard!

Love that he enjoys reading...and hats! :)

He reminds me of our oldest J, who will be 12 in about a month! Freckles, curls, similar likes … oh and the hormones. UGH!

Oh how I wish we lived closer!

Thanks for all of your emails. I know that is not enough but it is all I've got. I'm just amazed that you would take the time … thank you from the bottom of my heart!
