Teenager

It's official, we are the parents of a teenager!  Dallin is 13!  I can't believe it!  How are we even old enough to be parents of teenagers!  And now begins a new phase of parenthood, one that will occupy the next 14 years of our lives!

I love this kid teen to pieces!  I have never met anyone who challenges me the way he does, but I couldn't be happier to be his mother.  He is growing into such a wonderful young man.  Becoming a teenager feels like such a milestone, probably because it's a time in my own life that I can still vividly recall.   So to mark the occasion I wanted to post a progression of photos from his life up until this point, but Dallin was born in the pre-digital era, or at least pre-digital era in this household!  And I haven't taken the time to digitise our prints taken pre-2005 (which are in a storage facility somewhere in California).  So here's Dallin from age 5.  Happy 13th birthday!

Happy Birthday Dallin! I love seeing how he has changed throughout the years. In the early pics, he reminds me of Trev.

Can't believe how little he was when you came here, looking all polished in his Abercorn uniform! (good riddance, abercorn, right ;).
