Happy 13th, Liam!

It's a difficult pill to swallow when you realize that you now have two teenagers.  Well, one legal adult.  Gah!  Just to think, in five more years, I'll have two adults, two drivers, and two kids living their own lives.  Okay, maaaaaybe.  We'll see how that goes when the time approaches.  That's just crazy, though. 

 Anyway, here we are, the big 13.  I wish I could say that older kids get easier.  They don't.  There is always something new that comes up and it's part of their growth and learning.  I'm just thankful that I don't have to deal with any serious stuff right now.  It could always be worse.  Liam has a girlfriend.  But, it's nothing serious.  They ride the bus together, say hi in passing or talk over messenger and that's about where it ends.  Hallelujah!  

He's a great kid.  We are very lucky to have him in our lives as he brings us so much joy and entertainment.  There are always going to be challenges along the way but it's to be expected given the circumstances.  He loves to play badminton and basketball, play dice or board games at home, play with friends, watch and make YouTube videos, chat on Discord, and spend quality time with us when he's not busy doing other things.  He's our world and we love him so much.  Happy birthday, sweetheart!
