BIRTHDAYS

My second oldest is ELEVEN. He came days shy of his older brother's first birthday - and as quite as a surprise, at that (if I hadn't called my sister-in-law that day, I might not have made it to the hospital in time). He's intelligent, empathetic, and creative. He's a lover of books and is the first to make sure others' needs are met before his own. He's definitely one of a kind. 

My oldest is TWELVE. I had no clue what I was doing (and honestly still don't most days). He was, by far, my biggest and has the personality to match it. He is bright, confident, and dedicated. He has natural talent at most things, but is as sarcastic as sin. A true pre-teen (who loves to remind me that he'll be driving in four short years)...
