my first born is 9!

i can't believe my first born is 9!! where has the time gone? we affectionately call him "e." at the moment he wants to either be a video game designer or a veterinarian. he is very bright and loves learning new things. he is a leader and likes taking charge. he is really good at puzzles and likes doing word searches and seek and find books. he enjoys going to the library and getting books to read for pleasure. he is loving legos right now and any type of video game you can play. he continues to be social and makes friends very easily. he is very committed to things and has reflective/sentimental moments already at 9. he loves looking at old pictures and reminiscing. he has a great memory which comes in handy a lot! he loves riding his bike, going for hikes and playing outside. he is a very kind, compassionate, and loving young man.... no longer a "little" boy! =) he loves the Lord and continues to be sensitive towards the things of the Lord. my prayer for him is that he continues to grow in his relationship with the Lord and develops a love for God so deep that he can't help but tell others about Him. i pray that God will use "e" in a special way to further things for His kingdom.
we can't imagine life without him and thank God every day that he has blessed us with someone so special.
