Celebrating a Decade...

Ten years ago today, I became a mom when Jonathan (which means "Gift from God") came into my life, and my life completely changed. I am constantly amazed and humbled at how I've blessed I've been to have such a smart, healthy, talented and loving child as Jonathan. More than a son, he is truly one of my best friends.
We had our first family portraits taken EVER last week (Picture People) , and I will be sharing more of those later, but of course today I have to show one with my little man. (Yes, he is almost the same size as I am already, which I never thought would only take 10 years for him to do!)

Thank you for letting me share! I'd love to add a bunch of pictures of him growing up, but we have a big day ahead to celebrate, off to Schlitterbahn! Talk to you tomorrow!

  12. I so love these family photos of you all!! They are just adorable. And it has been soooo much fun watching that little guy grow up. I can hardly believe he is only 10!!! I mean seriously.. it seems I've known him since he was 3. LOL But he is quite adorable and I must tell you... the older he gets... the more he will become a very very good friend to you. My "little man" is 15 now and it's hard to believe how close we are. Hope you had a great day, Jonathan and remember to tell your mom she looks as young as beautiful as she did the day you were born. *HUGS*
