Oh, my gracious!! Our oldest is turning thirteen on Sunday. I simply cannot believe we'll have a teenager in our home! We're just around the corner from a driver's license and looking at colleges. DEAR HEAVENS, I'M NOT READY!!
Our Jacob is an amazing kid!! He excels at school and on the ball field. There's no better big brother, and with four little siblings (two here and two at his mom's), he gets tons of practice. He's respectful and mannerly and has an unparalleled heart for others.
We are so proud of the young man he's becoming! I know God has great plans for this boy and I can't wait to watch it all unfold!
