Happy Birthday Michael

Wow where has time gone? My kids are growing so fast. Sometimes I wish time would just stand still. This year Michael is 11! When I think of the many events yet to come in his life, I get a little overwhelmed. In just one year he will be receiving the Priesthood and passing the sacrament. This was such a hard thing for me to accept when Austin turned 12, and now to know that Michael is not far behind...I just can't believe it. The saying (or something like it) "A mother holds her childs hand for a time, but their hearts forever" is so true. They grow so quick!

He is still such a kid at heart. I love the pure innocence of children, and Michael is no exception. He has such a pure heart. He loves everyone, and has such tender feelings. When it comes right down to it, he would do anything for anyone. (sometimes it may take a little coaxing, but he will do it!)

I love you "Monkey"...I hope you have a Happy Birthday!
