I cannot believe Austin turns ELEVEN tomorrow! I am AMAZED at how quickly time has flown by. He is almost as big as me, and he is certainly as strong (if not more)!!! He went for his MIDDLE SCHOOL Orientation today...sniff, sniff! I can sometimes feel that slight lump in my throat I felt when he was walking to his kindergarten room (that this teacher mom used to secretly laugh in my head at "those" weepy moms...until I had my own child going and felt that way) as I think about him going to a different school than where I am (though, he couldn't be more excited!!!). He makes us SO very proud at everything he does!!! He has always (thank goodness) done well in school! He's got great choice in friends (so far we've liked them all!)! He's a wonderful BIG brother (Logan adores him and aspires to do everything his big brother does! And, in fact, JUST taped a secret message and $1 from his own piggy bank to his big brother's door since he heard Austin say he wanted money for his birthday)...he even came RUNNING in the house for the bendryl when the two of them were outside playing the other day and Logan got bit by ants. He rocks it on the football field (ability wise and more importantly HEARTwise)...can't wait to watch him play in Sportsarama tomorrow!!! Of course, I will post pics of that tomorrow!!! I could go on an on about or oldest (really about either of our boys)...I love his personality and sense of sarcasm, I love that he helps out around the house, I love that he still likes to sit and chat with both me and his dad, I love that he likes to watch some of our shows (and talks to us about them) with us...BIG BROTHER! I love that he and I can read the same books (SOME OF THEM ANYWAY) and talk about them...HUNGER GAMES! I love that he still lets me put him to bed and say his "lay me's" (aka prayers)...and I love that he will even add special prayer requests when appropriate!!! I love how he can randomly quote animal facts and tidbits! I love his blue eyes and freckles! I just LOVE him!!!! Happy 11th Birthday, Austin!!!! aka "my Snoodle"
