How did we get here? I have a teenager now...it doesn't seem possible. It isn't right. My firstborn teeny weeny baby is now a TEEN. While we do have a lot of typical teen moments, this kid is AWESOME. He is a sensitive and smart young man, he loves his family deeply, he is actively learning to trust Jesus, he is fun to watch on the soccer field, and he is funny and enjoyable to be around. (most of the time...) Keagan has learned the value of solid, Christian friends and Josh and I adore the boys that he hangs out with. We pray that their friendship remains because so far they are good a good group. Show me your friends, and I will show you your future...
For Keag's birthday I offered multiple options for a party. He unwaveringly chose a "spend the night" and movie with his buddies. One of his best friends was on vacation so he could not be there, but luckily Thatcher and Levi were able to join us!

 |
| Back home from the movies we did cake and...pushups! Yes, pushups... |
