Life is definitely changing around here and I'm not just talking about Jay cutting his hair off. Yesterday was a great day for him. He is actually looking forward to today. Can you believe it...looking forward to school?!
My emotions are all over the place with him right now. He is getting so big! I went to hug him and realized that his shoulders almost meet mine! I hug him everyday, but all of a sudden, two days ago, I hugged him and he was up there with me...there was no bending down to get my arms around his body! His shoe size went up 2 sizes since Christmas! I never have a hard time with my birthdays, but realizing that I'm about to have a teenager is hitting me hard. He's my little man and he's getting all grown up on me!
To ease my mind today...I'm in the kitchen making lentil burgers. I'm thinking drink treat is in order too for the evening!
He is getting so big! And I really do like the new cut still!
ReplyDeleteBut no worries. It really sounds like you've done a good job and have a great family to be proud of. :)
aw! <3 <3 he looks like you! :)
ReplyDeleteand that's great that he is actually looking forward to school!!
big hugs to you!
That pic is so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that he looks forward to school, but is it really school already?! It's not even August!
Sarena this is such a sweet post!
ReplyDeleteAnd I just saw on Facebook that your cookie was one of the top 5 Better Homes and Garden cookies picked! Congrats!
He looks so much like you! If it's any consolation, you could def pass for his college-aged big sis. :)
ReplyDeleteHe is too cute!! It is scary how fast time flies :)
ReplyDeleteLentil burgers and a drink treat are definitely in order :)
Cute picture of you guys together! Enjoy your lentil burgers this evening. Have a good one!

ReplyDeletehow time does fly, kids grow up so fast. my niece is growing up too fast
ReplyDeletelove the picture of you two! proud momma :)
He's growing into a young man! Very exciting for you Serena. Hope his day went well!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you mean. My guy is getting so big, too. It makes me so sad (even though I'm so proud!).
ReplyDeleteGosh, he looks so much like you!
He's definitely looking more and more like a teenager in every picture! Both your boys seem like such wonderful kids and they are definitely lucky to have such fantastic parents! Even if I didn't always appreciate it when I was younger not a day goes by where I'm not thankful for growing up with such an amazing family and I'm sure your boys will feel the same way!
ReplyDeleteYour barely old enough to have a teenager!! You could be his big sister by how young you look :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, VERY VERY handsome young man. I can't wait until he starts saying "mom, why so short?" ..
ReplyDeletemore like-
"son, why SO TALL!!?" haha
