This past weekend we celebrated a milestone. Our youngest baby boy turned 12...This my friends means that out of the 6 grand kids

all but 1 are teenagers. 1 left. that's it. I feel like I can almost hear the clock ticking that this whole childhood thing is drawing to a close. I mentioned it to Alex and his response was "don't say such a thing!" I cannot believe we will have all teenagers in the coming year. It leaves me speechless. I know that throwing a tantrum won't help, but sometimes I think it might be worth a try.
So as I said, Ketner Alex turned 12 on Oct. 15 at 3:33pm. It was a different birthday for him I am sure as it was our family's first formal dance later that evening. We did all the traditional things we do to celebrate Ket.....we decorated his place at the table with a Happy Birthday Balloon, flowers and warm Cinnamon rolls. But also we got haircuts, mowed the lawn and cleaned the house...bummer....
Doesn't take away from the fact that I am utterly, wholly, fantastically in love with this boy!!!
Man does he ever melt my heart!!!
SO happy Birthday Schmarm!!!!! We couldn't adore you more.
