This morning I was fighting off a wave of emotion as I drove Austin to school. This kid of mine is growing into a young man right before my eyes and my heart aches because I know that in a few short years he will be ready to leave home and build a life of his own. It seems that every day his eye level creeps up closer to mine and I notice things, like how he no longer hugs me around the waist but can put his arm around my shoulders. I know that someday he will be amused when due to his increasing height, I have to look up to him. What he may not know is that I have always looked up to him. I have always marvelled at his intelligence, his work ethic, his strength of character, his integrity, his grasp of personal responsibility and his ability to do well at just about anything he tries. He is an awesome kid and I am so, so proud to be his mom.

He is amazing! I can't believe he is 13. I got teary eyed just reading your post. :) I like to think of when our families have spent time together and how great Austin is with my kids. Colby always had a great time with him and really looked up to him.
Austin is such a great kid-I can't believe he's 13 already! I was just going through some old photo albums the other night and came across a whole page of pics of him and Amanda-they were just babies! How fast they grow! Happy Birthday Austin!
