twelve

Two weeks ago, this dapper fellow,

our beloved Firstborn,

celebrated his twelfth birthday.

Twelve seems a rather important year to me, a rather pivotal point in youth. I feel a weighty excitement for this boy as he faces the great adventure of adolescence and the journey toward adulthood. And along that bumpy, passionate, confusing, glorious path of discovery, I intend to enjoy every possible moment with this sweetness of a human that has been given to me.
