12: 12/12

Hard to believe, but our son, Joe, is 12 today. We celebrated last night with cake and also presented him with a new baseball bat. It's great to see Joe growing up both physically and spiritually.

Our biggest job as parents is to make sure we lay a solid foundation that our children's lives will grow from. This includes a passion for God, emotional maturity, respect for others, a will to succeed, and a good work ethic. The years ahead will be both challenging and rewarding! --Happy Birthday, Joe!

I cannot believe he is 12, it seems as though just a brief moment ago, you and Brian were taking our youth group on the missions trip to New York while you were pregnant. I remember you writing signs that read, "Joseph is hungry!" and you put them in the window for Brian to see while in another car, so he would wanna stop for his son; even though we all know you were the one that was hungry! lol Those were fun memories and watching Joseph grow up in church has been such a blessing for me! Happy Birthday Joseph!!!!
