There's A Teenager in the House !!!

13 years old.

wow.
In some ways it feels like 2ce as long as that, in other ways it feels like just a few years. We sure have packed a lot of stuff into 13 years! What a great kid! To see him growing physically, and spiritually, and emotionally....well, what a privilege! We love this guy!

He got a re-curve bow for his birthday with all the accessories. We both REALLY like this picture below, it was his first day practicing with it. He will be competing in April at his first competition, so I can see a LOT of practicing in the near future!

His friend Noah, who is already very good, came to play for the afternoon and gave Collin some great tips.
FLASHBACK: Escondido, California. February 28, 1997. Home from the hospital, but stopped outside for a picture. How scared to death I was of this tiny, screaming, creature!
A few months old, MUCH less screamy, and learning to roll over. What a cutie!
The night of my sister's rehearsal dinner that August. We flew back for the wedding.
Our first real family picture and what started the October tradition we have kept up ever since! He was SUCH a happy little guy!
His first birthday. This feels like forever ago.
His official one year picture!
We love you Collin!
God has totally blessed us with you!
