Happy 11th Birthday TJ

I love this small boy.  And for the record, I think I'll always call him that--even when he towers above me by several inches.  Eleven years ago today I was blessed to become his mamma. 

He has a passion for soccer (back row left), and he's a loving cousin to the cutie-patootie in the middle of the front row, as well as his other cousin in Tampa.  He's the best big brother, and a very tolerant younger sibling.

He loves to be physically funny.  I don't know where that trait comes from-not me or his father for sure!  He's sported this "surfer dude" haircut since he was 3...until last week.  Now he looks like the picture at the top, and it's taking some getting used to!

Always a clown...

 

 

He makes me laugh...

 

He's really matured in the past year.  He's my strongest and best student.  He is obedient, and kind, and loving.  He's simply wonderful.  A real gift from God. 

 

Happy Birthday TJ!!!
