11 is extraordinary!

Our first-born is 11 today! Crazy!! It certainly doesn't seem like 11 years ago that I first became a mom.  When this little guy came into the world, all tiny and cute, I didn't realize just how wonderful my life was about to get! Brayden is a gift and I am so glad God gave him to our family!

I am so proud of the young man Brayden is growing into. He is mature, thoughtful, intelligent and kind.  He is a great big brother and it's no wonder at all that all his brothers and sister look up to him so much. I am so lucky I get to be his mom and watch him develop into the man God has created him to be. I can't wait to see what lies ahead for this guy, but I know God is up to something in his life!

Happy 11th birthday Brayden. I hope you feel as loved, appreciated and treasured as you really are, not just today but every day this year!
